Soto Padang

December 'Masak Bareng YUk ' event is Soto Padang.

I don't remember when was the last time I have this menu, maybe since 1993 when I visited Bukit Tinggi. It's just I prefer Soto ayam or Soto Lamongan better than this.

Actually I am not sure if this is the correct soto Padang. But I got the recipe from "Seri Masak Femina PRIMARASA" so I am a bit confident to post this.

Here is the recipe (I copied from the book)

SOTO PADANG

Ingredients :

400 gram beef

2000 ml water

1 tsp salt

5 kaffir lime leave

2 lemongrass

2 salam leaves

1 1/2 cm ginger

1 cm galangal

1/2 nutmeg, 5 cloves, 5 cm cinamon

spring onion

glass noodles (I don't use it)

Potatoes - boiled and dice

fried shallot, and shrimp crackers

Ground spices : 10 shallot, 4 garlic, 2 chilies, 1 cm turmeric, salt and pepper to taste

Method :

Boil beef with salt, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, salam leavs, ginger, galangal, nutmeg, cloves, and cinamon until tender.

Slice the beef thinly and fried until crispy ( I cheated --- I used ready made crispy beff from Pelita Nasi Padang)

Fry the ground spice until fragrant and add to the stock.

Add spring onion and serve hot.

I serve it with rice cube and this 'kampung crackers' since I can not find the 'kerupuk merah'

Enjoy...

PEPES AYAM ( Steam Chicken wrapped in banana leaves )

This November 'Masak Bareng' menu is Pepes Ayam or steamed chicken wrapped in banana leaves.

The event is hosted by Dheeta and friends.

I am not good at cooking but I tried to make this pepes my way, as I don't really know how to make it. But luckily my son like it. So here is the recipe...

Ingredients :

Chicken fillet

Banana Leaves

Lemongrass

Daun Salam ( salam leaves)

Ground Spices :

Shallots

Garlics

Candlenuts

Turmeric

Chili (optional) --- I don't use it

salt and sugar to taste

How to make :

- cut chicken in cubes, blend with the ground spices.

- Put 2 spoonfull of the chicken to banana leaves, add lemongrass and salam leaves

- Steam about 30 minutes and serve hot.

I grill the pepes after steamed to make it tastier.

You may serve it with sayur asam and since this pepes is for my children I do not add chili in it so I just serve with sambal belacan.

enjoy....

Please forgive me for once again writing in Bahasa Indonesia, couse it's easier for me as my english is not that good... I know....
