Bakso, also known as baso, is an Indonesian meatball or meat paste with a texture similar to Chinese beef balls or fish balls. The term bakso can refer to a single meatball or the entire dish of meatball soup. 

Mie bakso is bakso served with yellow noodles and rice vermicelli, while bakso kuah is bakso soup served without noodles.

Bakso is a beloved dish found all over Indonesia, from humble street vendors to upscale restaurants. Alongside soto, satay, and siomay, it’s one of the country’s most popular street foods. These days, ready-to-cook bakso is also widely available as frozen food in Indonesian supermarkets. It’s typically served with noodles.

Turkish Food Recipe; Çiğ Köfte ( Vegan Raw Kofta/ "meatball" ). Easy recipe with video

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

Çiğ Köfte, which literally means "raw meatball," is the vegetarian version of one of Turkey's favorite fast or street foods. Traditionally, lean raw meat is mixed and kneaded with fine-grain bulgur and a variety of spices (baharat). 

Çiğ Köfte is typically shaped into small, long balls and served with fresh vegetables, like lettuce, cucumber pickles, chili pepper pickles, sour pomegranate molasses (nar ekşisi), and lemon juice. 

Some enjoy it wrapped in lavash flatbread, known as dürüm, while others prefer it simply wrapped in lettuce.

Çiğ köfte holds a special place in Turkish cuisine and culture, particularly in southeastern Anatolia (e.g., in cities like Şanlıurfa and Adıyaman), where it originated. It's often prepared for gatherings, celebrations, or as a treat. The communal act of kneading and sharing Çiğ köfte is a cherished tradition.

Traditionally, Çiğ köfte was prepared using finely ground raw beef or lamb, mixed with bulgur and a flavorful combination of spices. However, due to health risks linked to eating raw meat, the vegetarian version has become more popular, particularly in urban settings and for commercial purposes.

What is "Mandi"

"Mandi," or "المندي‎" in Arabic, is a traditional dish originating from Hadhramaut, Yemen, and has gained popularity across the Arabian Peninsula, including in Egypt and Jordan. 

It is also cherished by the Hadhrami community in Kerala's Malabar region, India. The term "Mandi" is derived from the Arabic word 'nada', meaning 'dew,' reflecting the meat's tender, dewy texture.

Mandi has gained popularity in other Arab countries as well. Traditionally, the meat is slow-cooked in a tandoor (an underground oven), making it extremely tender and flavorful, and it is served over aromatic rice.

The spice rub used to marinate the meat (lamb or chicken) is called Hawaij – it consists of coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom, black pepper corn, cloves, cinnamon, all roasted until aromatic and then ground into a powder. 

See how to make hawaij spice mixture in my previous post here and here.

What is hawaij spice blend?

Hawaij, also spelled hawayej (pronounced ha-why-adge) is a blend of spices from Yemen. 

There are two types of hawaij, originating from Yemeni cuisine: savory hawaij l’marak or ‘hawaij for soup’, and another one is sweet hawaij l’cafe or ‘hawaij for coffee’.

The soup spice blend is also used in stews, rice dishes, vegetarian meals, and as a rub for barbecued meats. 

The basic composition of this hawaij includes cumin, black pepper, turmeric, and cardamom. More complex variations may contain cloves, nutmeg, saffron, coriander, and dried onions.

Hawaij is a staple in Yemeni cuisine, often used generously as a rub for grilled meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. It's also great sprinkled into soups, stews, sauces, and rice to enhance the flavors. But you can add a pinch just about anywhere it makes sense, use it for vegetable stews, chicken marinades, fish, and meat. Even for chicken wings with it.

Bak kwa, also known as rougan (Chinese: 肉干) or roupu (Chinese: 肉脯), is a Chinese salted dried meat product akin to jerky.

Even originating from China, Bak kwa is also popular in Singapore, Malaysia, and neighboring countries, especially during the Chinese New Year. 

This delicacy, introduced by Chinese immigrants, has adapted to local flavors. A distinctive feature is the preparation method, where the meat is charcoal-smoked rather than air-dried, giving it a unique smoky taste. The versions of bakkwa found in Singapore and Malaysia tend to be sweeter than those from mainland China, with a range of variations like chili bak kwa to suit local palates.

Menikahi lelaki Turki, tidak seindah cerita sinetron.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Merhaba dari Türkiye semuanya 👋
Terima kasih udah mampir kemari ya. Boleh kok tinggalkan pesan atau jika ada pertanyaan apa saja di kolom komen dibawah... Saya akan sangat-sangat berterima kasih dan makin semangat update-update 💟

Kali ini saya tidak berbagi resep masakan, tapi akan menuliskan sebuah artikel yang inshaallah akan berguna bagi para perempuan Indonesia umumnya dan para pembaca lainnya.

Artikel ini saya cuplik dan saya terjemahkan dari sebuah situs berita berbahasa Turki yang saya pikir menarik dan akan berguna bagi pembaca semua. Hal ini saya lakukan karena makin hari saya makin banyak mendapatkan dan mendengar cerita/ kasus yang sangat memprihatinkan dan disayangkan. Dimana makin banyak wanita Indonesia yang datang ke Turki dan melakukan pernikahan yang berakhir dengan kisah sedih. Mereka mengalami mulai kekerasan fisik, seksual, emosianal, ekonomi, dan lain sebagainya setelah menikah atau bahkan sebelum menikah.

Kenapa bisa terjadi hal yang disayangkan itu? wartawan situs berita ini melakukan wawancara dan riset tentang hal ini yang saya pikir bagus juga untuk diketahui para perempuan Indonesia yang sedang mencari jodoh lelaki Turki.

Silahkan dibaca dengan hati dan pikiran terbuka. Dipikirkan dengan dalam dan matang sebelum menyesal seumur hidup nantinya.

*****

Kita berada di era ketika perjodohan sudah bisa dilakukan melalui jalur online. Bahkan baru-baru ini, banyak sekali  aplikasi kencan online dan situs pencarian pasangan/ jodoh, batasan-batasan tradisional telah hilang hingga terjadilah ledakan pernikahan internasional.

It has a crumble texture and melts in your mouth, it's typical indeed for this cookie. 

These peanut cookies are usually made and served on holidays, such as Eid-ul-Fitr, Christmas, or Chinese New Year. But it isn't impossible to find it in traditional markets or some bakery shops daily.

The shape can vary, whether round, star-shaped, half-moon-shaped, flower-shaped, or heart-shaped. But the heart shape is the most popular one. You can check my previous peanut cookie recipe here with heart shape.

Basically, there is no single form of "Indonesian cuisine", but rather, a variety of regional cuisines which are influenced locally by Indonesian culture as well as foreign influences. 

For example, rice that is processed into (steamed) white rice, ketupat or lontong (rice cake steamed using banana leaves or plastic) is the staple food for the majority of the Indonesian population, but for the eastern Indonesia, sago, corn, cassava, and sweet potatoes it is more commonly consumed. 

The general serving format for most Indonesian meals consists of staple foods with side dishes of meat, fish, or vegetables on the side of the plate.

Sumatran cuisine, for example, often displays Middle Eastern and Indian influences, such as the use of curry spices in meat and vegetable dishes, while Javanese cuisine develops from indigenous Indonesian cooking techniques. Cultural elements of Chinese cuisine can be distinguished in several Indonesian dishes. Dishes such as noodles, meatballs, and spring rolls have been absorbed in the art of Indonesian cooking.
