Sup Buntut Goreng (Indonesian Oxtail Soup)

Oxtail Soup, Famous and favorite of everyone in Indonesia :p  . This time I also fry the oxtail after being cooked and serve it separately from the soup (just like my favorite). Actually you can serve it right away without fry (or roasted) it. Usually served with "sambal Kecap" or sweet soy chilly and squeeze with lemon juice to give fresh flavor.

Ingredients:
-1 kg oxtail, wash and cut into pieces to taste. Bring to a boil in 2 liters of water until completely soft.
- Fresh Ginger (tip of the thumb size). Crushed.
- 3 ~ 4 pcs dried cloves.
Dried clovesImage via Wikipedia


- 4 ~ 5 carrots, peeled and cut into round.
- 1 large size potato, peeled and diced
- Leek, cut roughly.
- A few celery sticks. Tie them together.

Make ground spices from ingredients as follows:
- 3  garlic
- 3 small shallots
- 1x1 cm fresh ginger
- 1 tsp peppercorn
- A small piece of nutmeg.
You can use pestle and mortal or small blender to do this.
>Complement:
- Lemon juice.
- "Sambal kecap" or sweet soy sauce chilly (*see note below how to make it)

Pie Crust Basic Dough (Adonan Dasar Pie Crust)

This Pie crust recipe making double crust pie (around 22 cm each). So if you want to make single pie crust, you can make it half recipe. But as my habit, for any basic dough I don't mind make it a little bit more because you can wrap it tightly with plastic film and keep in in freezer, anytime you need it, just grab it and you are ready for your dessert 


Ingredients for double pie crust and how to make it:
- 2  and ¾ cup (310 gr) all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 250 gr unsalted cold butter. Cut in small pieces.
- pinch of salt
- 80 ml very cold water


If you use food processor (like I did): Combine sugar, flour, salt. Mix in butter until well combine. Mix in water, do not add all- just do it carefully, and process until everything become like crumbs. 
Take it out from container and Roll with rolling pin on lightly floured working surface.
Or you can use butter cutter if food processor doesn't available in your kitchen. Just try not to touch the dough too much with your bare hand otherwise your crust will be hard (less crunchy).


Your pie crust is ready to go !

Almond Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake / Bolu gulung cokelat almond

For me making roll cake was very tricky. Sometimes end up with "cracking" in some part, other time end up 'shrinking' after comes out the oven. And after some bad experiences, finally I learn something for making this good looking cake.
Type of cake to make this roll cake is "airy" foam cake like sponge cake base recipe because it's flexible enough to being roll. So if you find "crack" on your roll cake it means your dough isn't moist and flexible enough when it being roll. Sprinkle your towel/napkin surface with icing sugar can help moist still during rolling process. And more important thing to make your dough moist is egg beating. The air 'trap' in the batter make cake flexible and moist. One more thing is baking condition. Do not bake it too dry but correct heat to make cake perfectly done. Tricky? NO, Just don't stop learning things d(^_^)b

My wish now, I can have very BIG steamer to make steamed roll cake .. *pray mode on  d(^_^)b



Ingredients:
- 6 eggs. Separate the yolks from whites.
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 100 gr dark cooking chocolate. Melt over double boiler.
- 1/2 cup almond meal (ground almond)
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- a pinch of fine salt
- Enough icing Sugar for dusting over napkin/ towel.
For cream and garnishes:
- Enough whipped cream ( I use about 400 ml) whipped until stiff
- Canned Cherry
- Cocoa powder (optional)
