Originally in Indonesia my mom told me this is a village fried rice. And use terasi instead salted soybean. Since I became a vegetarian, I'm using salted soybean..you can find in asian store. Some brand really salty...

Ingredients:
- 4 C jasmine rice, cooked

Ground spice :
- 5 shallot
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 serano chilies or other chilies you prefer, Omit if you don like spicy
- 1 tsp salted soybean (vegetarian and vegan) or dried shrimp if you not vegetarian or vegan
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 T onion mix ( optional )
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric

- 1/2 C mungbean sprouts
- 1/2 C shredded cabbage
- 1 T chopped green onion

- 1 tsp low sodium shoyu
- 1 1/2 T oil

Directions:
- On medium heat stove, Heat oil in the pan and saute ground spice, stir well. Don't let burn because it has sugar. Add 2 T water...turn heat to low.
- Add vegetable, stir about 1 minute
- Add shoyu
- Pour rice into the mixture, stirring well..taste it..maybe need more salt or pepper.

Enjoy your fried rice !

I missed this kind of pedestrian food from Indonesia. We called " Lontong Sayur "...because we eat "Sayur Sambal Godog " with lontong or ketupat.

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.

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 love love love this snack. Don't ask me why, I don't know....maybe, because the wrap really crunchy or I just love fried food (then I really wonder why I have to work out and exercise hard everyday without lose my weight..ha..ha..ha..).


Yes, I grew up in a not really big city in Indonesia...Semarang. This ity is famous with special spring rolls, Lumpia Semarang. Next time I'll make a video about this food, how to make Lumpia Semarang.


Now, I'll make Vegetable Spring Rolls





Ingredients :





3 C cabbage


2 C mung bean sprouts


2 C shredded carrot


1 shallot, thinly slice


1 T soybean paste


3 garlic


3 chilies


salt


white ground pepper


1 egg


1 pkg spring rolls wrap



Romano Cheese, optional








Grind garlic, chilies, salt and sugar. In a big bowl, put together the vegetabes, ground spices, white pepper and egg. Stirring well.


Get 1 spring roll wrap, put on the big flat plate or chopping board.


Put 1 T of the filling and roll ( I showing how to roll them in video). Remember you have to work fast, because the spring roll wrap easy to dry and if dry, they really hard to roll.





Fry them, try to deep fry for the best result.
