Tongseng is a Central Java (one of the provinces in Indonesia) goat meat, mutton, or beef stew dish in curry-like soup with cabbage and chilies 🌶Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

One of my favorite chili sauce. It’s a easy tasty chili sauce.

My favourite simple dish when I was a kid. If you like it to be spicy, you can add green chili or red chili. I usually have a plain omelette to go along with this dish. The taste of this dish is a little sweet and salty.

‘Sambal Goreng’ is a traditional Indonesian dish which is made from chili peppers cooked with some other ingredients such as potatoes, tempeh, tofu, eggplants, green beans, etc. It’s quite different from ‘Sambal’ which refers to Indonesian chili sauce/paste which typically is made from a mixture of chili peppers with secondary ingredients such as shrimp paste, coconut sugar, lime juice, etc. and served as condiments. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and of course it’s spicy 🥵 Best served over warm white rice 🍚 By the way, you can always omit the ‘stinky beans’ part as they are really stinky. It may cause your breath to smell for a day or two 😁😅😂If you like my recipes, please follow me on my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel 🙏🏻😊😘

I learnt this recipe for sambal from my mother-in-law. My recipe is the same as hers, except she doesn't heat the terasi. This tastes different every time I make it, although I'm not sure why.You can mix the sambal in a blender (with the oil from Step 5) or an earthen grinding bowl if you prefer. But a stone mortar is handy in Asian cuisine. This is in a recipe that goes well with "Tempeh Goreng", and "Tempeh Manis". Recipe by Mama fio

dip fried spicy soy bean cake is really tasty.. One of my fave food. Isnt it look like falafel? But taste different. :) Try it please :)

2020 just came! In my family tradition, we usually celebrate New Year Eve with barbecuing. This year I cooked for my family because I back to my hometown 😁Ayam Bakar (Grilled Chicken) is our favorite dish! It's also popular dish in Indonesia. There are some type of Ayam Bakar, but my favorite one is Ayam Bakar Kecap.I'm amazingly surprised and feel happy, because my family loves this recipe and it's gone pretty fast 😂

Gulai Singkong Teri is one of the Indonesian traditional dishes originally from Sumatra (one of the Indonesian’s islands) but you can easily find this ‘delicious’ food in Padang restaurants all over Indonesia 🇮🇩 I ❤️ this food very much. It’s rich, spicy, and has a unique flavor of cassava leaves and fried anchovies 😋#heirloomIf you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Clearing my near expired canned food one day and decided to make something out of these spicy anchovies.

A very simple recipe for lunch, easy to make and very delicious, perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, serve it with warm rice and you ready to go!#eggplant #sambal #indonesia

Now come to the authentic and my favorite one ,to make my own is the best :)

‘Ayam Bakar’ is an Indonesian or Malaysian dish of charcoal-grilled chicken. The chicken is usually marinated with the mixture of different kinds spices such as garlic, shallot, chili pepper, tamarind juice, galangal, turmeric, ginger, bay leaf, candle nuts, and sweet soy sauce. ‘Ayam Bakar’ is usually served with ‘sambal trasi’ (Indonesian chili sauce - I’ll share the recipe in my next post 😊) and slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.Every region in Indonesia has their own special kind of ‘Ayam Bakar’. The one I’m posting now is a Javanese Ayam Bakar. It uses a lot of sweet soy sauce. I’ll try to share some other ‘Ayam Bakar’ recipes from the other islands next time 😊Note: In this recipe I didn’t grill the chicken using a charcoal grill. Instead I used a grill pan. You can choose which one you prefer. It will still taste yummy 😋 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel
