Lodeh

Lodeh is Indonesian food from Java. Normally we use long beans, chayote, cabbage, baby corn and melinjo leaves. This time I'll make Lodeh use long beans, corn, cabbage...I didn't find chayote this time.



Okay ! Let's cook...



Ingredients :



3 C long beans, cut short

3 C cabbage

1 can whole kernel corn / frozen corn or baby corn
1 1/2 C frozen lima beans



Spices :



1 tsp corriander

3 chilies

2 shallot

1 garlic cloves

Grind the spices



Oil

1/2 can coconut milk

Salt

White ground pepper





Heat oil in a big pan, add the spice. Fry for 1/2 minute.

Add 2 cup of water, let boiling. Add the vegetables, cook for 5 minutes.

Add coconut milk, salt and pepper...cook for 10 mintes. Stirring frequently.



Enjoy with steam jasmine rice....yummy !!





PS:

You can add a little bit shrimp paste for non vegetarian people.

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..
