Ketoprak

Ketoprak !! From Jakarta, very simple and normally you can find this food as a pedestrian food in Indonesia. Inexpensive..but taste good !!

They eat this food with lontong or ketupat...what I have to say in English ? Hmmmm rice cake...not exactly. Okay, next time we talk about this lontong or ketupat...but this time is time for KETOPRAK.



Ingredients :



For sauce :



3T peanut butter

3 chilies (it depends, if you crazy with chili like me....I use habanero)

2 garlic cloves

brown palm sugar

salt

sweet soy sauce ( you can easily get this in asian store)





3C rice vermicelli or miehun or bihun, soak in boiled water a few minutes

2C mung bean sprout, soak in boiled water only less than 1 minute

2C fried tofu

Fried shallot



Grind chilies, garlic, sugar, and salt until smooth. Add peanut butter, stirring well. If too thick add hot water.



Put the rice vermicelli on the plate, over the top with fried tofu and mung bean sprouts.

Spread the sauce and top with fried shallot...tada.......ready to eat !!

I'm just a house wive with many hobbies. Cooking, card making, baking (especially pastry), diving and the new one caking. I never thought I will decorate cake or cook before. In Indonesia, the country where I came from...maybe with people whom I knew..friends and families, no one vegetarian. Only me and my son...something odd for them. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they looked at me strange..I could read their mind " this lady is freak ". Once, I ordered fried noodle in restaurant. Special request..no meat, no shrimp, only vegetable. They added sausage and meat ball (bakso in Indonesia language). When I complained, the waiter said : But that's sausage and bakso. Geez, I didn't know what I have to do. I'm Budhist. So, after that I just said I'm Budhist and they respect more than vegetarian..hahaha. About cake, hhmmm...never made beautiful cake or delicious cake. I like cooking or baking just for myself and my son...until I met my husband Keith. He opened my eyes. I can cook delicious and I found the last thing I can bake nicely too. Thanks Honey !!! I still need to learn still newbie..
