Did you eat beef/ cow skin before?

Or maybe you didn't know that beef/ cow skin can be so delicious when it is cooked properly.

Some countries like in Asia or Africa are familiar with this beef skin. Just like in Indonesia, mainly on Java island.

We called this beef/ cow skin "kerecek or krecek" in Java.

Krecek or kerecek can be made of cow or beef or buffalo skin. On islands like Bali-which mostly non-Muslim, they make "kerecek" from pig skin.

This "kerecek" is commonly found in Indonesian cuisine. We can find it fresh, clean, and ready-to-cook cow/beef skin in any traditional market.

Some are dried and can be fried as "kerupuk" or crackers.

Halva is a common dessert in Turkiye and many Middle Eastern countries. There are many varieties of halva in many different countries.

Flour halva (un helvası) and semolina halva (irmik helvası) are common in Turkish cuisine. Basic ingredients are flour (for un helvası) and semolina (for irmik helvası). Cooked with butter, oil, sugar, milk, and cream.

These flour and semolina halva varieties are popular in the Middle East and Asia.

In some old books and documentaries, halva was made in houses during Ottoman time and distributed among friends and neighbors. Especially on the first day of the 3 important months in the Islamic calendar (Hijri Recep, Shaban, Ramadan), homemade halva is made and placed in small bowls and distributed to every neighbor.

In Turkiye, as tradition and customs halva (helva) is served on some special occasions such as births, circumcisions, weddings, and religious gatherings.  And when someone leaves or returns from Hajj(pilgrimage) and during Ramadan.

When a person has a new house or school graduation, and other important days they want to celebrate.

Not only that, but halva is also to be served at funerals or when someone is dead.

Rempeyek is derived from the Javanese onomatopoeia "peyek", depicting the sound of a crisp cracker breaking.

Rempeyek is often associated with Javanese cuisine, served to accompany "pecel/ petjel" (vegetables in peanut sauce) or other meals, or as a snack. Today, it is common throughout Indonesia, and is also popular in Malaysia following the migration of Javanese immigrants in the early 19th century.

It's my favorite cracker. Made from rice flour with some spices and fried in deep oil. The frying and making methods are typical and very unique. That is, on a deep frying wok, spread out the batter dough on the edge of the wok until it produces a very thin layer of cracker, I made a simple video also to give you an illustration of how to make this unique and traditional Indonesian "rempeyek".

Topping can vary from peanuts, green beans, black eye beans, small soybean, or dried small anchovies until dried small shrimp. A little tricky and need more patience in making it.

The combination of geographic and cultural diversity in Indonesia has resulted in one of the most unique cuisines in the world. In addition, Indonesia is rich in spices and herbs.

Foods vary from one region to another. The food from the east is really different from west Indonesia. Sumatran cuisine, for example, often features Middle Eastern and Indian influences, such as the use of curry spices in meat and vegetable dishes, while Javanese cuisine evolves from indigenous Indonesian cooking techniques.

This dish easily can be found in West Java, Jakarta, and regions surrounding it like Cirebon town, Tasikmalaya, or even Tegal town.

And today I will share a curry paste recipe from Indonesian neighbor country, Thailand. Indonesian food and Thailand food have many similarities. We use many varieties of spices and herbs and we love our food spicy.

Curry paste is one of my staple, anytime I want to make something it's ready anytime in my pantry. You can check many other homemade things I made here and here.

I always try to get as fresh ingredients as I can so I can get the authentic version that I am looking for. But if you can't find the fresh spice/ herb you can use the powder version.

I stir fry my curry paste to have a longer time to keep and it is just like a store-bought one. 

If you don't want to stir fry your paste, you can skip adding vegetable oil and keep the fresh (uncooked) paste in the freezer.

We call it "singkong" or "ubi kayu" in the Indonesian language.

Cassava or another name is yuca. It is long and tapered, with a firm, homogeneous flesh encased in a detachable rind, about 1 mm thick, rough and brown on the outside. Commercial cultivars can be 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) in diameter at the top, and around 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) long. A woody vascular bundle runs along the root's axis. 

The flesh can be chalk-white or yellowish. Cassava roots are very rich in starch and contain small amounts of calcium (16 mg/100 g), phosphorus (27 mg/100 g), and vitamin C (20.6 mg/100 g).

However, they are poor in protein and other nutrients. In contrast, cassava leaves are a good source of protein (rich in lysine), but deficient in the amino acid methionine and possibly tryptophan.

It is grown in tropical regions of the world because of its ability to withstand difficult growing conditions — in fact, it’s one of the most drought-tolerant crops.

Are important sources of food in the tropics. Worldwide, 800 million people depend on cassava as their primary food staple.

Cassava is a versatile root vegetable that is consumed in several parts of the world. It must be cooked before it is eaten.

General Tso's chicken is a sweet deep-fried chicken dish that is served in North American Chinese restaurants. The dish is named after Zuo Zongtang (also romanized Tso Tsung-t'ang), a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader, although there is no recorded connection to him nor is the dish known in Hunan, Zuo's home province.

A dish made of deep-fried batter-coated pieces of chicken that are cooked in a sweet, tangy, and sometimes spicy sauce. Some vegetables commonly served.

Even this dish is so popular in US, you might be surprised to learn that General Tso’s chicken is actually not very big in China — and it doesn’t even originate from mainland China. In fact, it hasn’t even been around for long: Its creation is widely credited to Peng Chang-kuei (who recently died) in 1952.

It is a small pie consisting of curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked pastry shell. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack.

Karipap Ayam is one of the most popular street snacks across South East Asia. They are truly delicious snacks. Crisp flaky pastry shells filled with a mild chicken and vegetables (potato and carrot mostly) curry.
