1. SUP UDANG- SHRIMP SOUP

Category: Soups & Stews Style:

Other Special Consideration: Quick and Easy

Description: Another simple shrimp recipe I tried this time.

It takes only 30 to 40 minutes. The taste is a bit sour ( because of the lemonade I think) + spicy = nice ( I think) It is served best without rice, but as my family and I eat rice every day, so I’d say it tastes O.K served with rice.

Source :Nova Online ( collections of recipes, mostly Indonesian recipes.) Ingredients:

• 300 gr shrimps, get rid of the heads 250 gr mushrooms – slice them 3 lemon grass – take the white part only,
• then slice 10 red chili peppers ( you can reduce the amount if you prefer it less spicy.)
• 10 green chili peppers
• 2 tbsp lemonade
• 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp oil fry with little oil. Then blend ( tender ingredients )
• 3 red chilies
• 3 shallots
• 3 onions

Directions:

1. Boil one liter of water + put the shrimps = wait until the shrimps are cooked through Turn off the stove
2. Heat oil- saute the tender ingredients for 2 minutes or 3. Whisk together the mushroom and lemon grass. Stir through. Put this into the boiled water with shrimps. Boil for 3 or 5 minutes.
3. 3. Add 10 red and green chili peppers.Then stir through
4. 4. Add 2 tbsp of lemonade. Add salt

Special Consideration:		Quick and Easy
Servings:		5

Description:
I stop eating chicken for some months already, therefore I need to find other recipes without chicken.

It is cooked with coconut oil, and that is the special thing about this recipe.

This food is typical food here- not only is it popular in Java, but other places- Perhaps, this food is cooked rather differently in outside of Java. This is called “Gulai” or “Gule” if it is pronounced quickly. It’s been so long since I posted recipes. I decided to post this as my family and I love this.

Ingredients:
1 tsp sugar
100 ml coconut oil ( depends on the meat- 1 kg of meat will need more of coconut oil.)
lemon grass, smashed
ginger or galangale, smashed
lime leaves
bay leaves
salt
pepper
water to boil the meat
oil

Spices ( ground)
shallots – I use more than 3 cloves
garlic – I use more than 3 cloves
ginger
turmeric
pepper
beef stock

Directions:
1. Boil meat + add salt = wait until tender.
2. Remove the meat from the boiled water, and cube the meat
3. Refine the boiled water
4. Prepare a pan, put oil then saute the spices until fragrant. Put bay leaves, lime leaves,lemon grass, galingale – saute until fragrant. Add the beef cubes. Then pour the broth.
5. Add coconut oil, salt and pepper.
6. Simmer for about 5 or 8 minutes.

Happy cooking!
