Merhaba from Türkiye everybody 👋 


Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavor. It is diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 18,000 in the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia their home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important. 

The diversity in Indonesia has led to a rich culinary heritage. From the famous rendang to Indonesian salad gado-gado, every Indonesian food is really worth to try.
Just like what I am going to share today- as my promise before from the previous post, that I will post Gado gado Salad in a different post. 
So here it is..... 😃

Gado gado is one of popular Indonesian dishes. Its on the list of Indonesian national dish among with others.
It's a dish consist of a mix of pre-boiled vegetable and fried tofu (or sometimes with tempeh) and dressing with creamy umami peanut sauce then served with kerupuk (shrimp cracker or other type of cracker). Lontong or rice cake also serves as a complement. Adding simple chili sambal is most people's choice to enjoy this delicious and healthy gado gado.

Originated in Java, Indonesia, Satay gradually spread its appeal over the entire East Asian and Southeast Asian peninsula, before becoming a hot meal of choice among the whole world of gastronomists. While applauding the refined and luscious taste of this dish, how many of you have really wondered about the brilliant blend between the satay and the accompanying sauce? Curiously, this sauce is called by the gourmets simply Satay Sauce, without knowing, that this is, in fact, a variant of peanut sauce.

I think now everyone is familiar with sate/ satay. One of Indonesia's most popular traditional foods and become everyone's favorite. And it's one of Indonesian national dishes among others eg; Rendang, nasi goreng, gado gado and more.

I am personally the number one fan of satay . In Indonesia itself there are many types of satay from various regions and of various ingredients.

For example, from Padang city (Sumatra), I like satay Padang. It made of beef/ ox tongue mix with beef meet, flush with thick yellow, curry-like sauce. Sumatranese typical food.

There is also "sate kelapa" (beef / chiken satay coated with grated coconut-My best favorite) -its mostly from Madura Island. Served with peanut sauce or simple dark sweet soy sauce.

Did I mention quail eggs satay, clam satay, 'tempeh' satay, mushrooms satay and there are dozens of other types of satay (which is nearly I have eaten already). For mutton/ lamb satay you check here for the recipe

Besides of many variations of satay, satay is usually also served with various sauces. "Sate Padang" has a different sauce from mostly generally satay sauce --You can check recipe here . There is also satay with sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) here the recipe . This time I made chicken satay with peanut sauce--the most common and popular sauce among of all.

Homemade Satay peanut sauce

And today I will show and share my recipe on how to make authentic famous Indonesian satay with satay peanut sauce, all from scratch. No worry... it's easy than you think 😊
First thing first. We must make satay peanut sauce in ahead. You can keep this sauce in an airtight clean jar, store in the refrigerator up to 5 days. in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, defrost before use. Warm up in a microwave or over low heat stove for 2 minutes or so.

The name tres leches derives from the Spanish words "tres" means "three" and "leches" which means "milk". 

During the preparation, three different milks are used in the syrup poured on the cake, mostly sponge cake base. It called trileqe in Albanian language and people called it trileçe in Turkish language. 

Rumors said originally it made from three kind of milk: cow, goat, and water buffalo. But then after 1930s it started using processed milk (like UHT) and cream due to an increase in industrialization and urbanization. That made tres leches more popular since then all over Northern Mediterranean. 

A variety of tres leches known as trileçe in Turkish language, has recently become popular in Turkey. One theory is that the popularity of Brazilian soap operas in Albania led local chefs to reverse-engineer the dessert, which then spread to Turkey. It was later popularized by the then Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano, who was spotted eating the dessert on the Bosphorus Bridge. 

The Albanian/Turkish version is sometimes made literally with three kinds of milk: cow's, goat's, and water buffalo's, though more commonly a mixture of cow's milk and cream is used. Tres leches (trileçe) consist of three main elements; Cake, Milk mixture, and Sauce/ topping. Mostly in local patisseries here in Turkey, we use caramel or chocolate sauce topping while some using different kinds of fruits jam sauce also - next time I will try fruity sauce.

POPULAR INDONESIAN FOOD RECIPES / Became guest cook in Beyond Indonesian Kitchen event

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First of all, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on anything beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Today's post might be a bit longer than usual. Cause I will tell you a little more about Indonesian cuisines- my beloved country 💓

Last Friday I was lucky enough to be a guest cook for Beyond Kitchen by young chef and gastronomy - Mohammad Alard. We cooked and served some Indonesian menus for our expat fellows in Istanbul.

Beside cooking, I also presented and tell to the guests about the dishes they enjoyed that night. And I am going to share to you as well 😊

Well, where can I begin?
Indonesian has the most unique cuisine in the world due to the combination of cultural diversity and its geography.
Most Indonesian food is prepared with contrasting flavors, such as a spicy-sweet or hot sauce served over a bed of plain white rice, a popular meal throughout the country.

We serve simple foods in general, but using plenty of herbs, various roots, spices, leaves and grasses adds zest to most of our meals. Some of you may think that Indonesian foods are spicy and hot because we use chili pepper on mostly every dish. But it's not really true. In fact, the most widely used spices are cumin (caraway), coriander, and ginger. All relatively mild spices and give such a mild aromatic dishes.

Some other countries have bread as a staple food. In Indonesia, rice is the most important staple food. We eat it for breakfast until dinner. İt normally accompanies every meal too. For daily consume we eat steamed white rice. Even you may find some other type of rice such as white Glutinous rice and black glutinous rice. But those glutinous rice usually being used for our snack (jajan) , cakes or on sweet treats. check Indonesian food category  and Indonesian snack (kue) for more.

But rice is not the only staple for All Indonesian. In eastern Indonesia, like Maluku, we can find sago as their staple food. And some other regions people eat cassava and corn as main staple. 

The most common method for preparing food is frying, sautéing, and steaming. Although of course grilling, simmering, roasting, and even baking are also popular. 

Besides famous with a variety of spices and herb, using coconut is commonly find in mostly Indonesian foods. We use coconut start from its flesh, its water, coconut milk, until its leaves. Coconut used in main dishes, side dish until sweet treat.

Resep dalam Bhs INdonesia klik disini




Hello everyone.....
Merhaba from Türkiye 👋

I am pretty sure that you’ve heard of Indonesia or maybe some of you think that Bali is somewhere near Indonesia and thought that it is a country of its own. Maybe it was all because the diversity of Indonesian culture that made us (or some of us) think that way. 
Well, for you who didn't know yet, Bali is one of Indonesian islands among more than 17.000 others.

There are so many ways to explore Indonesia and if you have little time to actually travel to the beautiful Indonesia, you can do it by tasting our FOOD! 😊

Indonesian cuisine often demonstrates complex flavor, acquired from certain ingredients and bumbu spices mixture. Indonesian dishes have rich flavors; most often described as gurih (savory which equate to umami) and pedas (hot and spicy), and also a combination of basic tastes such as manis (sweet), asin (salty), asam (sour) and pahit (bitter). 

Seven main Indonesian cooking methods are goreng (frying), bakar (roasting) or panggang (grilling), tumis (sautéing), sangrai (roasted), rebus (boiling) and kukus (steaming).
Talking about how rich İndonesian food is... today İ'll share you one of İndonesian favorite; Sate Lilit Bali. It's one of famous food from Bali island, beside Balinese grilled fish ( ikan bakar) or urap sayur and ayam pelalah (spicy shredded chicken).

The various spices used to make this meal so rich and umami. The herbs and fresh vegetables added also enrich and distinguish this dish from other places in Indonesia.

Köfte (or kofta) is a family of meatball or meatloaf dishes found in the Indian subcontinent, South Caucasian, Middle Eastern, Balkan, and Central Asian cuisines. In the simplest form, koftas consist of balls of minced or ground meat—usually beef, chicken or lamb—mixed with spices and/or onions.

In Turkey, köfte is one of traditional staple. There are hundreds of different varieties and vary greatly in size and shape. 

Some are long and thin- we call it parmak köfte, typical to İnegöl Köfte. 

Others are balls, and others are patty shaped typical to kasap köfte or Pideli köfte. 

You can check my previous köfte recipe like İzmir köftesi origin from İzmir city (see recipe here) .
Or when you visit Bursa you should try Pideli Köfte, it's a small flat patty shape meatball served over pide flat bread flush with yummy tomato sauce then "fizz" with hot melted butter. You can check how to make it home here. 
There is another köfte from İnegöl town named İnegöl Köfte. Each köfte (meatball) has own typical.

Köfte variant also can be determined  base on meat used. It can be made from beef, lamb, or a combination of the two. Sometimes chicken or turkey (in Turkish language we call it "hindi tavuk" 😊)

Merhaba from Türkiye 👋

Tongue meat is rich in calories and fatty acids, as well as zinc, iron, choline, and vitamin B12. ... Folate is the vitamin in organ meats considered beneficial for fertility and for helping avoid fetal defects in a baby, such as spina bifida and heart problems

Tongue is a very well-used muscle and it needs to be cooked for a long time over low heat to become tender, and it can be very tasty.
So if you want to try this recipe, you should have a pre-cooked beef tongue. How to cook/prepare beef( ox) tongue see this link here

I cooked beef tongue so many times, at least twice or three times in a month. My family enjoy it as well, especially this oven roasted beef tongue. The spices so simple and once you have precooked tongue in your fridge, you are ready to go with any recipes using this delicious beef tongue.
