HALOOOO. It’s been twenty days since the last time I came here. Wow. What a coincidence. TWENTY. Just like the title of my last post. Okay, so, today I’m not going to write about my opinion or something theoretical. I’m going to write about culinary thingy, a.k.a a recipe named Suki. Let’s start!!
Ingredients 1 for the broth:
- 1 garlic/bawang putih
- 1 shallot/bawang merah
- 1 lemongrass/serai
- 4 cm of galangal/lengkuas
- 2 cm of ginger/jahe
- 5 lime leaves/daun jeruk
- 2 limes/jeruk nipis
- 2 tamarinds/asam jawa
- 1 teaspoon of terasi/shrimp paste
- 2 teaspoon of fish sauce
- 5 chili or as many as you like/cabe rawit
- shrimp’s skin and head
- salt
- pepper
- water
- 7 garlic (chopped, stir it with butter until the color turns into golden-brown)
Ingredients 2:
- 10 or 1/4 kg of shrimp
- 1 Chinese cabbage
- 2 sets of bok choy
- 2 packages of enoki mushroom
- 1/4 kg of fish cakes or fish balls or as many as you like
How to make:
- Put the skin’s shrimp and its head to the pan which fill of water until boiling and leave for 5 for minutes after it boils to make a shrimp’s broth.
- Take out the skin’s shrimp and its head using a sieve to make the broth’s clean.
- Crush the ingredients for the broth (garlic, shallot, lemongrass, galangal, and ginger). Put it in the boiling water along with lime leaves, tamarind, terasi, fish sauce, and salt.
- Leave it boiling for another 10 minutes.
- Put the shrimp, and fish cakes/balls, leave it to boil for 3 minutes then put another ingredients like cabbage, bok choy, and mushroom. Leave it again for 5 minutes.
- After that, turn off the stove and put the lime juice and pepper.
It’s DONE. Just like that. Suki is ready to serve with chopped chili and stir-fried garlic to add the taste. Oh, this much ingredients are enough to fill 3-4 persons’ stomach. Hope you try and like it as much as I do! The taste of this dish is clean enough to taste in your tongue and nothing greasy because I’m not using any oil (except the butter) to make it. Too bad I don’t take a picture of my dish. I’ll edit and add one when I make it again, later. See you on my next post!
