HOW TO MAKE PERFECT SHAPE HOMEMADE BURGER BUNS

RESEP DALAM BHS INDONESİA ADA Dİ BAGİAN BAWAH

Hello everybody.......

Merhaba from Türkiye 👋

Baking bread is an almost daily routine for me. Any kind of bread, Asian style soft bread until artisan European style bread with chewy texture cause my husband is a bread eater. 

My kid, she enjoys everything. She can enjoy food from my culture as much as she likes Turkish food.

Me as Asian, mostly consume rice or noodle but of course, I can not resist hearty warm delicious soup with warm bread in chill days 😍

And since she started school a few years ago, baking burger bun is become my routine for her lunch box or sometimes for the fathers too.

And just today I want to share also with you since I have documented in pictures this time. This recipe I use for few years already and it works for me and turns into nice beautiful buns just like storebought.

You can check my other Bread recipe at Bread/ Bun category.

For you who never bake bread or bun before this recipe might be very easy for you to start. Here I make my own burger rings to get nice shape when it bakes but of course it's optional for you. İf you bake your own buns very often this ring pretty much help. You can get it ready at baking store but I prefer make them by my self.

Merhaba from Türkiye everybody 👋........... Selam.

You may agree that chicken is the cheapest protein source that we cook and eat daily. 
Same here at my house, my kid, and I love chicken so much.
Please check my chicken/poultry category if you want to know my various recipes cooking with chicken/ poultry in many styles; Turkish, Asian, Indonesian, or worldwide.

I like my chicken in many ways. Fry, grill, in soup or stew. For you who always looking for idea for kid's lunch box, you should try my homemade chicken nugget, or my cheese chicken balls, or Indonesian "kaki naga" .

And for my today post, İ am going to share my new fave Spicy Plum sauce Chicken. The sweet and sour in this recipe remind me of sweet and sour chicken, but it's deliciously different.

Maybe you remember previously I'd shared my homemade plum sauce. Beside soy sauce and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), plum sauce is one of my staple sauce in my pantry.
So if you are Asian food lover... you should have that sauce also in your pantry. You will ready anytime whenever you have Asian food party 😍

Fırın Sütlaç or baked rice pudding, is one famous traditional dessert from Turkey. Served much better after keeping in the fridge to develop the texture and taste.

Some recipes can vary from one cookbook to another. Some people may add cornstarch or rice flour to their recipe. And mostly we use damla sakızı or mastic gum for this dessert. You can check my previous post for version using mastic gum here.

Another type of  Sütlaç is nonbake, but both are just great. Try it and I believe your family will like it as well.

LONTONG KIKIL KHAS SURABAYA / INDONESIAN FOOD; COW FOOT (trotters) SOUP

Please Scroll down For Recipe in English.

Assalamu'alaykum.........Merhaba dari Türki semuanya 👋

Apa kabar semuanya? ... Semoga dalam keadaan sehat dan berbahagia ya. Juga saya ingin ucapan selamat menunaikan İbadah puasa ya bagi teman muslim sekalian. 

Ramadhan tahun ini msh jatuh di musim panas, tp udah bergeser ke bulan Mei yang hawanya tidak terlalu panas... karena mungkin masih deket-deket musim semi ya. 
10 thn lalu, Ramadhan pertama saya di Turki jatuh bulan Agustus, puncak musim panas yg panasnya bisa sampai 42℃ diluar rumah. 
Puasa hari ini dimulai saat fajr pukul 03.41 pagi dan iftar nanti inshaallah pkl 20.30 malam. Jadi praktis kita berpuasa 17 jam . Tiap hari ada pergeseran waktu 1 atau 2 menit  waktu puasanya menjadi lebih lama.
Tadi pas ke pasar pukul 1 siang suhu diluar 30℃, tapi angin masih lumayan sepoi jadi tak terlalu panas.

Sebenarnya kalau Ramadhan saya cenderung malas makan, maunya buka cuman dengan minuman yang segar saja..sudah terasa kenyang. Tapi kan harus makan ya buat energi siang hari. Jadi saya masak kesukaan saya saja biar nafsu makan ada 😊 . İtupun saya makannya habis sholat İsya' jam 12 malam gitu deh.
Jadilah saya masak Lontong kikil ini, kebetulan anak sayapun suka, sampai mau nambah-nambah kalau makan 😤. 

Karena saya asli surabaya jadi saya bikin lontong kikil ini yang khas Surabaya ya. Tapi memang masakan kikil yang terkenal ya dari Surabaya ya.

Lontongnya saya bikin malam sebelumnya. Untuk yang ingin tahu bagaimana cara membuat lontong pakai magic com bisa dilihat di link ini ya. Tapi saya kali ini bikin lontongnya gak paka magic com, tapi pakai plastik saja. 

Yuuk..yang pengen wisata kuliner khas Surabaya di rumah silahkan coba resep lontong kikil Surabaya a la saya, dijamin ketagihan deh 😚

Ramadhan Mübarek for you my friends who celebrating Ramadan feast this month. Wishing you and your family a blessed and joyful Ramadhan.... May Allah accept all your prayers in this holy month.

Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which the Quran was revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset.

During Ramadan, two main meal are served. İftar, is the meal to break the fast after sunset. Typically, people will enjoy dates, dried apricots and Ramadan juices, before heading to evening prayer.
And Suhoor is a meal taken just before sunrise (the fajr), before the day of fasting starts.

Ramadan is known for its wide variety of irresistible meals as an iftar. And it cannot be completed without having dessert or sweets. I know, in Ramadhan we should prepare our body and soul more on ibadah than cooking but as a mother we should also provide our family with good quality of food during Ramadhan.

Sometimes fill with cheese or mashed potatoes, but plain without any filling also as good as with filling.

This dızmana is commonly made in Bulgaria by Thracian immigrants. But now everybody across regions also love to bake it.

In Indonesia, we call it "bolu marmer". Taken from the Portuguese language "bolo" means cake in English.

"Marmer" is marble in English. So this is our old classic Indonesian Marble cake.

Me and my siblings and my big family grew up with this old and classic cake. I remember my late grandmother and my aunty often baked this for us.
I think every kid my age also had the same memory about this cake. We can find this delicious kind of cake when somebody had a celebration like a birthday, circumcision, marriage or just a family gathering.
That is why make this so cake so memorable classic and every kids' favorite cake. And every family has its own recipe.

Do not ask me why...
Sun and summer is my soul.😪

Well... Just give me some cookies and coffee.. maybe I won't escape from the winter 😄

Yep.. cookies and me (and my kid) are friends. Maybe because I am a "snack" person who enjoys small meals between our main mealtime.

And if you already knew me.. cookies are always on my house, not just during holiday time but always. 

Today I am going to share my ultimate checkerboard cookies. My kid loves it so much, and when she brought them to school, and shared them with her friends. The kids were so happy and they liked it! 😍

Some of them even asked my kid to bring it again another day 😃

Well... any kid should love cookies, right?! 😃

Indonesian Lamb or mutton satay with peanut sauce / Sate Kambing Bumbu Kacang

Resep Dalam Bhs Indonesia bisa dilihat di sini











Selam Everybody...........Merhaba from Türkiye.

Satay is a grilled meat dish famous throughout Southeast-Asia. Indonesians consider it a national dish conceived by street vendors. These tasty meat skewers are most popular with chicken, beef also lamb or mutton. We also have vegetarian satay version use tofu and tempeh instead of meat. 

Traditionally it served with white steamed rice or cake rice (Ind; ketupat and lontong). 

And generally it served with fresh cucumber pickle as well. Some area (like Madura island) serve together with bone soup or in middle Java serve this satay with gulai tongseng.

So if you want this satay in quick, you should prepare your white rice or cake rice in advance. Also you need to make peanut sauce and fresh pickled cucumber ahead.

In Indonesia it self there are many types of satay from various regions and of various ingredients. For example, from Padang city (Sumatra), I like satay Padang. There are also "sate kelapa" (beef satay wrapped with grated coconut-My best favorite)-it's mostly common from Madura Island, quail eggs satay, clam satay, 'tempeh' and tofu satay or mushroom satay for vegetarian option.

And there are dozens of other types of satay (which is nearly I have eaten already).

Bread or ekmek we call in Turkish language is a staple of all food in Türkey as well very much important in Turkish culture.  Not just bread, we treat our food with respect. Wasting foods (bread) is disrespectful and günah or sin.
Eat and finish what you take.

Bread is always on our dinner table. Serve morning to evening. Dip in a hot creamy soup, eaten with Turkish köfte (meatball) in between or any meal. Or just simply spread it with salça (homemade tomato paste) for hurry brunch.

You can find a dozen types of ekmek/ bread in market or local fırın (bakery) which always serve fresh and hot bread from a traditional big stone oven. And there is one bread that is specially baked on a special occasion, Ramadhan or Ramazan. İt's Ramazan pidesi.

There are many classic dishes that are associated with Ramazan in Turkey. But no other item signifies the breaking of the fast better than a loaf of pide (read; pee-deh).
Ramazan pidesi is round and flat in form and has a weave-like patterned crust shape by fingers.

Ramazan pidesi is made of wheat flour with yeast, rub with egg wash, and topped with sesame and black sesame seed.

You like to check Peynirli pide (pastane usulü) / Turkish Cheesy Pide Bread (soft version)

It is traditionally served for the iftar and sahur meals during the holy month of Ramadan
is a highlight bread in turkey during Ramadhan month.

Bakeries all over Turkey provide this Ramazan pidesi hot and fresh about an hour or two before iftar time. So you will see a long queue in front of fırın/ bakery before iftar time to get this delicious pide hot from the oven during the month of Ramadhan.

Look inside the crumb! so fluffy. Yummy!

How to prepare and cook beef (ox)/ Lamb tongue / Cara memasak lidah sapi / kambing

For some people eating offal or another part of an animal sounds gross. Or maybe some of you just don't know how to prepare or cook them.

Offal could be delicious as normal meat if we know how to cook it, for example, cow's feet (or legs) or (beef) tongue. You can be hooked once you taste a delicious meal using those animal parts because it is prepared correctly and cook in a clever way. 

Today I am going to share a tip on how to prepare and cook beef tongue. Beef tongue is lean meat that can be very tasty. But when you didn't cook it properly it can be pretty chewy and almost rubbery.

Since it's quite lean as I mentioned above, it'll take some time to cook to have a butter-soft texture which we look for. Some said 30 minutes per pound, some said an hour. 
Personally, I didn't really use a timer or whatsoever, İ just cooked and check my beef (ox) tongue periodically and test it by inserting a big fork in the thickest part of the tongue, when it easily slip off from the fork it's done.
