<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fall is my favorite time of the year. My favorite weather month is October! I love the mood, colors of the leaves, the change in temperature. I prefer colder temperature. However, t</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">he start of the fall weather hasn't been great here in The Netherlands. There have been quite a lot of wind together with rain which makes it cold and wet everywhere. A few days ago I was cycling home against the wind and rain. When I got home I only wanted to eat some hot chicken soup with rice. So the next day I went to the Asian supermarket to buy all the ingredients I need for </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Soto Ayam. </i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't believe how seldom I make this soup considering how incredibly delicious it is! I think it's because to serve this soup it's quite an elaborate process. As I'm typing the recipes below, I just realized how much ingredients and toppings that are in it! And personally, it's actually a bit expensive to make this soup because the special spices I have to get from the Asian supermarket. If you live around Asia, with the bountiful of spice ingredients you should be making this soup every week!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But please, my friendly cooks who live in the west! Try to make this soup! It's <i>sooo</i> good and flavorful! <i>Soto ayam </i>(= chicken soto) is a chicken based soup broth. What's special here is the bit of <i>tanginess</i> from all the citrussy ingredients. The spices really enhance the chicken broth, not to mention the fun yellow-greenish color from the turmeric! Topping it with some tomatoes gives it some bite of freshness in the midst of this densely spiced broth. And an extra sprinkle of the lime juice really ties all the flavor together!</span></div>

<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Start to cook all the ingredients for the large soup pan on medium heat, leave to cook to a simmer. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients for the food processor and grind until they becomes a gritty paste. It should have a fun yellow color!</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Heat up the non-stick pan and add the paste, with medium heat stir continuously and cook for about 5 - 7 minutes until it's soft and fragrant. Add the paste to the soup pan and mix well. Let simmer for another 30-45 minutes. Take a taste in between, you'll know when the spice goodness is infused in the broth!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After 20 minutes, take out the chicken breast, shred or chop the chicken to tiny pieces. Return to the soup or fry a few of them for some crispy chicken (see notes). </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On a small soup pan, bring the water to boil and add the the glass noodles, cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Drain and set aside for serving. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Using the same pan, boil the eggs. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Prepare the rest of the toppings.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When you are ready to serve, remove the chicken carcass, lemon grass stalks, kaffir limes and bay leaves and discard. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Divide the cooked glass noodles on 4 soup bowls. Add in generously the </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">soto ayam </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">broth. Add the toppings. Before eating, sprinkle the soup with some lime juice.</span></li>

<ul style="text-align: start;">
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This soup can definitely be eaten as is, but I usually eat it with a side of cooked rice and fried chicken. Recipe for the fried chicken coming up soon on the blog!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you want some crunchy texture, set aside some of the shredded chicken and fry them to golden crisps.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's usually also <i>Sambal</i> on the side, but since I was too lazy to make one I added chili slices in the soup. Remove the seeds form the chili if you're not used to the heat.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I bought raw chicken carcass from a poultry stall in one of the <a href="http://dehaagsemarkt.nl/" target="_blank">markets here</a> in Holland. They are called <i>soepkip </i>(=soup chicken). I had a small piece of the neck, bones from the chicken breast and thighs. I think it is something that you can order from your local butcher shop. If the carcass is not available where you are, it can be substitute with a few pieces of chicken wings</span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><i>Ikan teri = dried salted anchovies</i>. <i>Ikan</i> translates to <i>fish. </i>In Indonesian usually we say <i>fish </i>with the name of the fish. For example, <i>ikan kakap merah = red snapper </i>or <i>ikan hiu = shark, </i>etc. But anyway, I usually explain <i>ikan teri </i>to my non-asian friends as the bacon of Indonesia. Because they're salted and when you fry and serve them, you can't stop eating it! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It takes about 4 - 5 minutes to fry the anchovies until it's golden brown and you can just serve them with rice and <i>boom! </i>easy meal. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It's a very easy side dish to make. This time we'll spice things up, add some chilis, a little bit of tempe and nuts for extra protein and you won't feel so guilty for eating <i>dried-fried-salted</i> stuff. This is something you can make in big batches and keep in the freezer. And whenever you don't feel like cooking, just prepare some rice and warm this up. That's what I did when I moved to Holland, it's also still very much my comfort food!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I like to dice my tempe about 1 cm big because I still like to have some of the chewiness. You can also cut them in thin stick slices if you prefer crispier tempe. This side dish is spicy because of the chilis and it has only three other ingredients for flavoring, garlic and shallot and tomato for some sweetness. I never add salt because the fish itself is already salty. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Even though this is quite a simple side, when you eat this with a spoonful of warm rice you'll get a couple of different textures and flavors! Of course the peanuts gives nuttiness, but also a crunchy texture and bite. The chew and fermented taste of the tempe gives another flavor dimension. And when you bite into the anchovies, <i>ahh! The salty heaven! </i>With all that texture, the heat of the chili is usually subdued by the rice. But when the rice is super warm, it will punch up the heat! </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In a medium non-stick pan warm up the oil and fry the tempe on a medium high heat for 5 minutes or until it's crispy and golden brown on the outside. Remove from pan and set aside. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;">Using the same pan, do the same with the peanuts.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">With the leftover oil, fry the anchovies for 5 minutes and stir constantly to avoid the tiny fish getting burnt. Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Cook the garlic, shallot and chili until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato and cook for another 5 - 7 minutes to remove the juice and moisture. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Add the fried peanuts, tempe and anchovies. Mix well, coat them with all the spicy sauce. Done! </span></li>

<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">In Holland I find this fish in the asian supermarket. In Asia, for sure you can find it in most markets.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">If you don't like it to be too hot but still want a little heat, you can substitute the birds eye chili with fresh cayenne pepper. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">If you still want to use the bird's eye chilli and want to lessen the heat, remove the pits and finely chop the chilis. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">She turned 69 this year. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">What can I tell you about my Mami?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">She's the strongest and kindest person I know. She's a nurturer and a nester. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">She fights for her children, and for those moments she fights for me I can only be grateful. Mam doesn't need much to be happy, only for her children to make it in life. To everyone she meets, Mam always says my children and grandchildren are my pride and joy.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Time for some funny anecdote! (Maybe just funny for me ...)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">When I was about 5, 6, 7 years old (or maybe even older!), I would always get warm chocolate milk in the morning. Maybe because I was such a baby, or Mam just spoils me, I'd get this milk while I'm still sleeping. She'd come to my bed in the morning with a cup of warm milk complete with a straw. I'm laughing so hard as I'm typing this!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">She tapped my softly on the cheek with her finger, or she'd give me morning kisses. I guess it's to alert me that milk is here. And when she did that, of course I would know that milk's here and I'd open my mouth like a baby and I get my straw and start drinking my milk half asleep. Just like a little baby!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Sometimes just for fun she came to me while I'm sleeping and just tapped my cheeks so I'd open my mouth looking for straws when there was none! When my sisters found out about this trick, they did it to me too! We still laugh about it today!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I guess Mam taught me how to cook.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">She cooks from instinct, and I got a little bit of that. If I ask her about some dish, she never gives me the recipe, only the ingredients.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I don't think she loves cooking the way I love cooking. What she has is the passion to feed and care for the people she loves. She wakes up an hour before everybody to prepare breakfast and food for my family before they leave for work. In Jakarta, if you don't leave the house at 6 AM you'll be stuck in morning traffic for hours!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">For the birthday cake I decided to make cheesecake that's my Oma's specialty. She made it so good one time, my brother was suspicious and asked her if she put any flavor enhancer in her cakes! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It's a vanilla genoise sponge with some vanilla buttercream and generous sprinkling of grated cheese. I added some strawberry for some tartness to cut in all the sweetness. I'll share the recipe on a future post!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Of course, on crucial moments when she had to fight the hardest for us she always shows up and ready to go. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">But it's never really those big moments that shows her true love and passion for her family. It's the daily struggle and effort to care for us, the early mornings where she has to prepare the day, the phone calls she has to make to the garage to help my brother and sisters with their car insurance, the bags food and drinks she always prepares before we leave the house in case we get stuck in traffic, be the place where I vent my frustration while being a total whine and sometimes unkind, a wonderfully loving and generous grandmother to her grandchildren, a completely loving and supportive partner to Pap and still a caring daughter for Oma. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I realized how much I still need her a couple of years back when I got really sick and in the middle of the night I went to my parents' bed and slept next to her just for comfort. She still gives us back and foot rub if we ever got sick. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Everything good that's ever happen in my life is only because of her constant love and prayer. I don't know how to thank her for the countless hours she spent taking care of me, even to this day. I can only hope and pray for her health and happiness for more years to come. </span></span><br />

A peg leg under the front side serving as the brake, so the cart can be park anywhere. Another two woods stick out the back just around the hip-level, for him to push and steer the cart around.

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Jackfruit: I used canned jackfruit, so first wash the jackfruit under running water to remove the syrup. Slice. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Grass jelly: dice the jelly according to your liking :)</span></span></li>

<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Avocado: use a spoon to scrape chunks of avocado. </span></span></li>

<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I don't really have measurements for this recipe. Just add a few pieces of everything as you like into the bowl ;)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I also used mostly canned goods because I can't find the tropical fruits here in Holland, most </span><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">of the stuff you can find in asian stores. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">You can definitely switch up the fruits or the syrup with ones you have around.</span></span></li>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Marinate the pork in a large bowl with the lime juice and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Put all ingredients B in food processor and process until it's a smooth paste.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Sauté the chili paste in the pan on a medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and let cool.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the chili paste is cooled, toss them into the pork, mix well to coat the pork with the paste. Leave for another half hour to let the spices infuse to the pork. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><i>Tip: In the meantime, soak your skewer sticks in water. This is done to prevent your sticks to burn when you're grilling the pork. Also, prepare your barbecue coals, mine took about half an hour for the heat to be ready. </i></span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Arrange the pork to the skewers with this sequence pork - pork belly - pork - pork. Then it's ready to be grilled. Depending on the heat, I do about 7 minutes on each side. Keep turning the skewers to avoid too much burn marks. </span></span></li>

I personally like the chopped version because you're keeping the texture of the tomatoes and shallot and you can still have something to bite.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px; text-align: justify;">I've been MIA for a month now, busy with stuff in real life but I want to take a little moment to share something that warms my heart a little bit this weekend :)</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It was my nephew's birthday last week and a while ago he already requested that he wants a Super Mario birthday cake. He's been on Mario craze for a few months and plays it most nights on Wii. So, last friday I went to my sister's to prepare for his birthday celebration. Got there at around 7 PM, had dinner, and went to the store to buy ingredients for the cake and started baking around 9 PM. In total, it took me about 5 - 6 hours to finish the whole thing. I made a simple chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, his favorite. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">A little sidenote, I'm a big fan of </span><i style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">cake boss, </i><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I watched the show religiously when it is on and that was the first time I saw fondant and how to use it for a cake. I used to make a lot cake with fondants but for a couple of years now I've stayed away from it. I always thought it was too sweet, it didn't add much to the cake and a lot of people normally don't eat it. But I decided to use fondant anyway for this one because it would look best, with the colors and decorating the cake. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Anyway, while I was waiting for the cake to cool and the mousse to set, I made the little </span><i style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Yoshi eggs </i><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">and the </span><i style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">Piranha plants. </i><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">I bought an egg mould a few weeks ago and made the eggs using tempered white chocolate and green food coloring. For the plants, I didn't want to use fondant so I made it out of strawberries. Sliced an opening for the mouth and put some white chocolate to create the lips and little dots on the sides. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">The next morning after my nephew had breakfast and had opened his presents I asked him to come to the fridge because I had a fun surprise for him. When he opened the fridge and saw the <i>eggs </i>and the <i>plants, </i>he had the biggest smile on his face and was so excited for me to finish the cake. I told him okay, I need to cook some other stuff first for your party and I will finish the cake in the afternoon. He said okay and continued playing with his new toys. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">When his grandparents came around 2 PM, he gave them a big hug and immediately told them, "Come to the fridge! Come to the fridge! I've got something to show you!!" And then he showed them these two miniature things I made last night. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It made me reaaaalllllllyyyyy happy that he was so excited after I showed it to him in the morning and hours later when his grandparents came, the first thing that he wanted to show them wasn't his new toys, not his new bike, no presents or the balloons decoration or the garlands with his name on it, but instead he pulled them to the fridge to show them these two little things. I really thought it wouldn't mean that much to him but I guess it did. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">It took me only an hour to make them and quite honestly it wasn't perfect.. When I was making them I kept thinking "Ugh.. I think there's not enough fun stuff for me to make and put on the cake. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">:(</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">The cake is not going to be that great" Although I know he was going to be excited about the the cake, I was being hard on myself. My worries all went away and my favorite moment last weekend was when I saw him saying "Look! Look! Look!" and pointed inside the fridge with the biggest smile on his face. Love you K! Dikke kusjes and knufel!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I was inspired to make this ice cream after I went to the a gelateria in Eindhoven centrum with my sister and my nephew. My nephew always orders the chocolate ice cream, my sister gets the pistachio and I'm always undecided (my favorite ice cream is cookies and cream, too bad they don't have too much of it in Holland). </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;"> I made this around summer holiday last year, around the time when I made my <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2014/09/es-duren-durian-ice-cream.html" target="_blank">durian ice cream</a>. I was on an ice cream craze! This one is slowly becoming my favorite! I made it two other times after this shoot.. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In a saucepan, add in the milk, heavy cream, pistachio nuts and vanilla. With a medium heat warm the milk until bubbles appear on the side of the pan. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Remove the pan from the heat, let the milk infuse for 20 - 30 minutes. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Whip 200 ml of cream until stiff peak and set aside in the fridge.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">After the milk mixture has cooled down a bit, blend it with a blender to your desired consistency. I like to still be able to feel and bite the pistachio, so I don't blend the nuts too finely. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Gradually add the milk from the blender, mix well. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Pour the mixture back into the saucepan, stir continuously and cook the mixture until it reaches 70 degree Celsius or until it coats a wooden spoon. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Let the mixture cool, outside for 20 minutes and refrigerate it for 1 - 2 hours. If you have cooking thermometer, I find it best to let the mixture to cool them until 5 - 10 degree Celsius. If you have space, put it in your freezer, it will speed up the cooling process.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the mixture is cooled, fold in whipped cream and mix well. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Prepare your ice cream machine and pour the mixture in. Churn for maximum 45 minutes. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">After you finish churning, move the ice cream mixture to an ice cream box and let it set in the freezer for another at least 4 hours. </span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">This is one of my favorite garnish, because t</span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">he flavor is sharp, very defined, it's slightly spiced and it has a great aftertaste to it. It also add a texture to a dish because if its crispiness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">You can use this garnish for a lot of dishes, I use it when I eat some kind of a soup dish like <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2014/09/indomie.html" target="_blank">Indomie</a> or my <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2014/08/sop-ayam-mami-my-mams-chicken-soup-with.html" target="_blank">Mam's chicken soup</a>. Sometimes my sister even eats only <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2015/03/how-to-cook-rice-cara-masak-nasi.html" target="_blank">white rice</a> with this and some sambal! It's very easy to make and a great garnish to have in your pantry. Especially if you love asian food :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In South East Asia, we use the small red shallot. You probably can find them in asian store, but it's quite expensive, so I just use the normal shallot you can find in the supermarket. </span><br />

Add in about 2 tablespoon of shallots each time, fry until the shallots is light golden brown. Don't wait until they're golden brown, then you'll have burnt shallots. Remove from oil and lay them on a kitchen paper. </span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I made this cake two or three years ago, when I did not have a food blog yet..

I'll try to look for the original link and credit the recipe...</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Nasi! Nasi! Nasi! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">That's rice in Indonesian :) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I don't even remember the time when I didn't eat rice, my whole live I've always eaten rice. Mam told me when I was able to eat solid food, she prepares rice with a side of soup so it would be easier for me to chew and swallow. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Pap taught me how to cook rice. I was helping Mam cooking and she told me to prepare some rice. I was 8 years old and I did not know how to do it. I guess preparing rice was probably the first thing I learnt to cook. We do it in a rice cooker though, so does that count as learning how to cook? :P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">"Pap, how do I do this?" </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">He came over and helped me. He took a few cups of rice from the bag and put it in the rice cooker bowl and went to the sink. I followed him, "Wash the rice until you can see the water is clear and then drain," he explained to me. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Usually in a rice cooker bowl there are guiding lines inside the bowl on how much water you need that corresponds to how many cups of rice you are cooking. Pap did not follow those guiding lines. Instead, he showed me another, more traditional way on how to measure how much water you need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">He tap the bottom of the bowl to level the rice inside. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">"Look here, gradually add in the water, put your index finger straight up so it lightly touches the rice and stop when the water reaches the first line of your finger." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I think this was the way my <i>Oma</i> taught him how to do it :) I've seen my <i>tantes </i>do it the same way :) <i>Tante</i>, by the way is Dutch for aunt. We use a few dutch words to call family members <i>Opa & Oma, Tante & </i>Oom. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I still cook rice that way to this day, measure the water with my finger. However, I modified the amount of water a little bit. The way Pap taught me gives a more softer and fluffier rice, I prefer my rice to be on the dryer side. <i>Al dente </i>if you can say so :) When I was cooking the rice in the photos, I use cups to measure the amount of water. </span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Wash the rice under running water for 2 - 3 minutes. Drain and put in the pan. Add the water (if you have pandan leaves and/or you want to add salt, you can add them now). Put the lid on the pan. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Cook the rice with high heat until the water is boiled, about 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to the lowest and let cook for another 10 minutes. During this time, if the water is boiled and starts to spill out of the pan, just remove the lid for a few seconds and let the bubbles to decrease and return the lid back to the pan. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">After 10 minutes, the rice should absorb all the water. Turn off the heat and let it steam for another 5 - 8 minutes.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Your rice is ready to eat! Enjoy!</span></span></li>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Like I said, I like my rice to be on the dryer side, if you would like to have the rice to be softer and fluffier, add about 75 - 100 ml of the cooking water. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I never really put salt in the rice when I cook it but you can add about 1 teaspoon of salt to add some flavor. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I haven't use rice cooker for a while but I think the recipe measurements should hold.</span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The first time I made Klappertaart was in Jakarta a few years ago. I called my Oma and asked her for the recipe. She only gave me the ingredients, not the measurements. <i>"Put in the coconut in the pan and add in the coconut water just until it covers the coconut about over 2 cm" </i>she said. <i>"Use some condensed milk to sweetened the mixture and some flour to thicken them" </i>she explained further. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Hmm.. I have to tell you it did not come out great. Not that it tasted bad, it tasted delicious but I did not get the texture that I wanted. The custard was too runny, well, it was not a custard, more like a coconut vanilla sauce. I already figured that it was too runny when it was still in the pan but I thought that it would hardened as it cools in the fridge, but it did not. So, after that I've tried to perfect my klappertaart and finally I have a basic recipe that I can use to make a great one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I don't know why I did not put two and two together at that time but I'm actually only making a version of pastry cream added with some fresh coconut to it. When the light bulb finally lit up, I added some egg yolk to further thicken the mixture. </span></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">If you cannot find fresh young coconut, use frozen coconut instead. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">If it happens that you can't find both and have to use the canned coconut, run it under the water for a minute and let it soak to remove the sweetness of the syrup. Do this a few times.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.600000381469727px;">If you cannot find fresh coconut water, try to find boxed coconut water. Find one with the least sugar taste in it. I have tried a few here in Holland and my go to coconut water is <i>Grace Coconut Water</i>, you can find this either in the chinese winkel or <a href="http://www.jumbo.com/" target="_blank">Jumbo Supermarkten</a>. </span></span></li>

This is ... Stamppot Boerenkool !!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Stamppot literally translates to </span><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><i>stamped pot, </i>which is the act of mashing the potatoes and the vegetables together. Boerenkool translates to <i>the farmers kale. </i></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">A lot of internationals I met here actually don't like </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">boerenkool. </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">They said that the kale that they've had before is a lot less bitter than the kale here in Holland. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The first time I tried this dish was a few months after I arrived in the Netherlands. I joined my sister to a bible study hosted by a dutch friend of ours from church. After the bible study, he prepared and cooked this for about 10 people. I don't remember why I loved it so much on the spot when I ate it but I remember craving it and asking my sister the next week "<i>Hey, why don't we cook boerenkool for dinner tonight?" </i></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Since then I cook boerenkool every week or every two weeks.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The fresh boerenkool only available on wintertime here in Holland. During the spring-summer time the frozen version is available, not as great but still.. So.. It's March now, the wintertime is almost over <i>get your boerenkool on! </i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The meal is actually pretty easy to make, however there are a few added elements to it. You are basically making mashed potato and then you make all the sides. It takes less than an hour to make it and if you're like me, you can save the leftovers for dinner the next two, three days. <i>I'll tell you secret of mine, when I cook boerenkool, I eat some of them in the morning for breakfast! :P </i>That's how much I love stamppot! But then again, I'm Indonesian and we eat warm meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And when I'm in Jakarta, my Mam would prepare some leftovers from dinner and we'd eat them for breakfast. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The way I prepare stamppot boerenkool is slightly different than the way the Dutch people cook it. They cook the boerenkool for about 20 minutes until it is wilted, soft and lost it's color. I like my boerenkool still crunchy and green, so I cook them only for 10 - 12 minutes. And I don't put all the boerenkool together with the potatoes, I save the rest to be sautéed with some smoked bacon. In this way you're not only eating soft mashed potato but you're also creating some texture to the dish with the crunch. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">This one is also one of my comfort food. There's nothing more comforting for me when I'm having a difficult day at school or just having a bad day, than the process of cooking stamppot. I don't stock potatoes in my place, so I always buy about 1 - 1.5 kg, cook them all and I will eat stamppot for dinner for a few days. It's therapeutic and soothing getting the potatoes and taking out a bag of boerenkool from the store fridge, and then I would be smiling, "<i>I'm eating stamppot tonight." </i></span></span></span></div>

<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Stamppot Boerenkool (45 minutes)</span></span></li>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Peel and cubed the potatoes. Wash and run the under the water for a few seconds. Dump all the potatoes to the pan and add water until the potatoes are covered by at least 5 cm. Add the salt and garlic. Turn on the heat to high and bring the water to boil (you can put a lid here to speed up the process). Reduce the heat and keep simmering for about 20 - 30 minutes.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the potato is ready, dump the shredded kale (boerenkool) in the pot. <span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Put the kielbasa/smoked sausage on top of the kale </span>and put on the lid. The kale (boerenkool) and sausage should just stay on top of the potatoes. Keep the heat low and let it simmer for another 10 - 12 minutes or until the kale is soft but still green. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Remove the sausage and set aside for serving. Drain the potato and kale. Return them back to the pot, add in the butter and milk. Mash the potatoes with potato masher until there is no lump. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"> </span></li>
</ul>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Melt the butter and add in the sausage. Keep the sausage on medium low heat for 20 minutes turning every 5 - 10 minutes. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Increase the heat the last 5 minutes and keep turning so you can get some color on the sausage. When they're browned on each sides it's ready.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Take out the sausage from the pan. Transfer the butter and fat from the pan to a small gravy bowl. You use this fat also as <i>jus </i>for serving. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Bacon and shredded kale (10 minutes)</span></span></li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Fry the bacon on medium - high heat for about 5 minutes. Gradually add in the kale while stirring. Reduce the heat, cook and stir for another 5 minutes until the kale are slightly soft. </span></span></li>
</ul>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">It's been a while since I posted my <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2014/10/macaron-part-i-essentials.html" target="_blank">macarons essential tips</a> until now to post the basic macaron recipe. I've drafted the post a while ago but I was having problem writing this intro paragraph. Like I mentioned in my previous <a href="http://oliviacooksinholland.blogspot.com/2014/10/macaron-part-i-essentials.html" target="_blank">post</a>, I used the Italian merengue (IM) method to make my macaron. I've done the french merengue (FM) method because I read on other blogs that it was a less fussier way to do it but I never seem to get the perfect macarons, it was always hollow and I tend to overmix the mixture in the end and fail. I did about 5 batches of failed FM macaron until I decided, maybe I should switch to IM. Not all is a loss though, during those times I also learnt about my oven best temperature, should I use baking mat/paper, drying the macaron, etc.. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The recipe of FM macaron that I follow comes from </span><a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.nl/2010/04/macarons-101-french-meringue.html" style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;" target="_blank">Not So Humble Pie</a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">. I don't know why it did not work for me because all her macarons looks so great! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In this post I am only posting macaron recipe, I'm not posting the recipes of the filling. Usually, I use basic buttercream or chocolate ganache. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">It was not on the first try of my IM macaron conquest that I was successful, probably more like the third or fourth time. I played many times with the ratios of the ingredients and I thought I finally found a good one. The macarons came out decent, but some were still hollow. And then one time, I guess, by luck my kitchen scale was acting funky and I put too much almond meal in my mixture, I was supposed to put 100 gr but I put in much more than that. I saw that that my mixture was really thick, so much so that when I kept folding my mixture, it would not become runny (overmixed)</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">. It just stayed thick. When I finally bake the macaron, the frilly feet came out small but the cookie was thick and dense! No hollows! At that moment I realized, you need to have the right amount of dry ingredients (almond meal + powdered sugar). It does not just depend on how you work the egg whites. If you're having troubles making your macarons, try out the recipe below, I'd be interested to know how it goes :)</span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">While you're waiting for your syrup to thicken, using a hand mixer, whisk the other egg white until it forms stiff peak. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the syrup is ready, slowly pour in to the egg white, keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the mixture is stiff and shiny. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In thirds, combine the meringue mixture into the almond paste, be careful not to overmix. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Pipe the mixture onto your baking paper/silicon mat. When you finish piping all the mixture, rap the baking sheet on to your counter to remove the air pockets and to flatten the macaron.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Let stand on the counter for about 1 hr (depending on the humidity) so that the macaron can form a skin and then bake in the oven, 175C (convection oven) for about 15 - 18 minutes</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking paper/mat</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When it is cooled, sandwich the macarons with your desired filling!</span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;">A few weeks ago when browsing the freezer section in the </span><a href="http://www.amazingsanglee.nl/" style="font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">chinese winkel</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;"> in Eindhoven, I saw dried salted anchovies!

As I grew older, I could not wait for Sunday lunch, my Mam makes them on Sundays and we'd enjoy it after church. I don't know if it's pretty common in manadonese family to eat <i>bubur manado </i>on Sundays, but from what I remember whenever I visit my extended family on Sundays, we always ended up eating <i>bubur manado. </i></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">You always serve </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">bubur manado </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">with a side of </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">sambal roa</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"> and fried fish.

I am a newbie on food blogging, well, I have been blogging for a while now but I have not put time to craft the art of food blogging (plating concept, food styling, taking photos and editing, writing, etc..).

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Anyway, this snack is such a popular dish in Indonesia because it's so easy, the ingredients used are basic pantry ingredients you can find at home. So many times we have guests just show up at my home in Jakarta and my Mam would whip up this quickly and serve them with a side of tea. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">There is no special secret in making macaron. Of course tips and tricks can make your <i>macaron</i> <i>journey</i> a little bit easier, but who would want that?! You want to have a difficult time at first before you finally get the perfect macaron, because it'll just taste a little bit sweeter! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The one and only secret is just to keep practising until you get comfortable with it. I don't want to burst your bubble here but you probably would not get it right when you make your first macaron. Or the second time or third time or even the tenth time, in my case! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Something would always be wrong, whether it is your measurement, your technique, your oven temperature, the way you fold the mixture, the way you pipe, what kind of baking paper/mat you use, etc.. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">My quest for macaron was difficult. There were days when I would go back and forth to the supermarket to get new eggs and just try and try and kept on failing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">But ... Please don't get discouraged reading what you just read. Because, I finally found the recipe that works for me. Hopefully it will work for you too! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Before we dive into the recipe, let's look at some of the essential things that you need to pay attention to. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">First and foremost, <b>GET A COOKING SCALE</b>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">My recipe rely on the <b>weight of the egg whites</b>. Different eggs yield different egg whites weight. Normally, your egg whites should be about 37 - 42 gram a piece. This is for large eggs. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The reason why I want you to know the weight of the egg whites because sometimes, the size of the eggs are different. For example, I can make good macarons here in Holland but when I tried to make one in Jakarta, it did not come out good. I found out it was because the eggs I was using in Jakarta was smaller than the one I use in Holland. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><b>To age or not to age? </b>I honestly can't tell you the difference. Most times I made macarons, I use them as they are. Take the eggs from the fridge, separate them and let them sit in room temperature for 30 minutes or so. When I do use a day old egg whites, I really can't see the difference. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I use the </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">italian merengue </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">method for making my macarons. I find it gives the <b>most stable macaron</b> mixture and you'll get </span><b style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">less air pockets and hollowness</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">. I have tried the french and swiss merengue method and the italian came out on top!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">After a lot of failed macarons, I found out for myself <i>and my oven </i>using a <b>silicone baking mat</b> is the best way to go. For some reason using baking paper gives me crooked macarons, they don't rise evenly. I have seen other people bake their macarons using baking paper and they come out perfect. I</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">f you have the same problem as me, one tip that I read is you double up the baking pans so the heat distributes evenly.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"> Another reason why you should try yourself and find out which is best for you, </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">and your oven. </i></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Speaking of oven, the temperature I use for macarons is between <b>150 - 175 degrees</b> <b>Celsius</b>. The oven (convection oven) I use in my sister's house, I use 175, The oven I have which is conventional oven, I preheat the oven for 30 - 45 minutes to 150 with top and bottom heat. So, the oven type also influence the outcome of your macaron. If I use 175 in my conventional oven, my macarons come out slightly brown and burnt. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><b>The macaron texture should be in between a thick and thin batter. </b>This is <b>the top reason</b> why if you want to make good macarons you have to do it over and over and over again. It is the only way you will know how the batter supposed to be like. I have read recipes that says, "fold your batter <i>X </i>many times". No, this trick will not work for you as it did not with me. The best way to know how the batter should look like is to look at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ws6OMSHoCg">this video from adriano zumbo</a>. This is the video I use to check my batter texture. The video shows that they mix the macaron with mixer, that is a big NO NO for me,<b> always use spatula </b>to fold your batter! In the video, only pay attention to how the batter look like (on 2:07 - 2:15), ok!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><b>The drying process, </b>oh the drying process. Try not to skip this step. No matter what you read in other blogs, the drying process is important. The longer you can wait the better it is (at least for me!). Especially for you that live in higher humidity places. My failed macarons in Jakarta, came out with no feet and erupted top like a volcano mountain! When I make macaron here in Holland in winter time, I dry my macarons 1 - 1.5 hours. On summer time, I do it even longer, 3 - 4 hours. I had days when I touched my macarons and it is dried after one hour, I put them in the oven thinking everything will be fine and they came out erupting! Or crackled on the top. Since then, I never played with the time, I dry them as long as I can! </span></span><br />

When I wake up on Saturdays (around 8 - 9 AM) I immediately make and pipe my macarons and leave them to dry. I start baking them at 1 - 2 PM. You should figure this out yourself depending on your environment. </span></span></div>

The cake was a flourless chocolate cake with two types of filling, whipped chocolate ganache and cookies & cream. Love it! If I were making a cake for someone else's birthday, my brother/my sister/ my nephew, I would take time to make some decorations but this time, it was for me so I did not bother to decorate it. It came out great! I think from now on I will make more </span><i style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;">naked cake, </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; text-align: justify;">I also find it prettier that you can actually see the layers inside :)</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I use a flourless chocolate cake recipe from <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/">BBC food</a> you can find it <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/flourlesschocolateca_93580">here</a>. The filling is a simple whipped milk chocolate ganache. I always prefer to use the milk chocolate instead of the dark one, I like things sweeter. I added another type of filling, cookies & cream because I wanted to add a little crunchy texture to the cake. I made a mistake though, by the time we were eating the cake, the cookies in the cream already softened, so I did not get the texture I wanted. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">So, if you want to have some crunchy cookie texture, I think the best way is to first put a layer of cream and then sprinkle cookie chunks on top of it, to keep the cookies from getting soft. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">As you can see from the picture I did put the cream layers a bit unconventionally. I put them in two piping bags and pipe them alternately with each other. I also added some strawberries, just because :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">I made some macarons because it's my nephews favorite cookie ;) But I did not have time to make the filling, and the filling from the cake was already finished so I just left them filling-less and add it to the cake for some decoration :)</span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Warm up heavy cream in a sauce pan, when the sides of the pan starts to boil, pour into the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Stir well until all the chocolate lumps are gone.

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the ganache is cold and slightly hard whip until it is fluffy. Add in the baileys and mix well. </span></span></li>

And the kids would be so excited to jump in the car because we get to go out on a drive past our bed time to get some durian! We'd drive for about 10 - 15 minutes and we'll get to the area where people are selling fruits and durian on the sidewalk. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">We finish our parties around 2 - 3 PM :) And then everybody heads home ;)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">It's almost impossible to find some good fresh durian here in Holland. I can only find frozen durians in the asian store, and most times, they are good but not great. So it's better to make something else out of it. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The recipe is an easy one, basic custard ice cream recipe. Normally a custard-based ice cream uses only egg yolks, here I uses both egg yolks and whole eggs. When you incorporate egg whites, you can get volume and lighter and fluffier ice cream texture. </span></div>

<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">350 ml milk</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">150 ml heavy cream </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">2 eggs</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">2 egg yolks</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">200 gr sugar</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">600 gr durian, separate the seed from meat</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">1 vanilla pod</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">200 ml cream, whipped with a sprinkle of sugar </span></span></li>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In a saucepan, add in the milk, heavy cream, seed of the durian and vanilla pod. With a medium heat warm the milk until bubbles appear on the side of the pan. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Remove the pan from the heat, take out the seeds and slice them open and return back into the pan. Let the milk infuse for 20 - 30 minutes. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Whip 200 ml of cream until stiff peak and set aside in the fridge.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Put a strainer on top of the bowl and gradually add the warm milk.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Deseed the strained vanilla bean and add to the custard mixture, discard the durian seed. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Pour the mixture back into the saucepan, stir continuously and cook the mixture until it reaches 70 degree Celsius or until it coats a wooden spoon. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Strain the custard into a bowl and let cool, outside for 20 minutes and refrigerate it for 1 - 2 hours. If you have cooking thermometer, I find it best to let the mixture to cool them until 5 - 10 degree Celsius. If you have space, put it in your freezer, it will speed up the cooling process.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When the mixture is cooled, fold in whipped cream and mix well. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Prepare your ice cream machine and pour the mixture in. Churn for maximum 45 minutes. During churning, you can also add the meat of the durian for extra texture. Just using the seeds will add so much durian taste in your ice cream!</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">After you finish churning, move the ice cream mixture to an ice cream box and let it set in the freezer for another at least 4 hours. </span></span></li>

<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">It would be a crime to have Indonesian recipe blog and not include this specific dish! It's beloved nationwide! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When I was younger, I had kind of a love/hate relationship with Indomie. Sometimes when I eat them, my tonsils would get inflamed and I would have sore throat for at least a week. I think the packaged seasoning has some ingredients that does not go well with my throat.. Nevertheless, I love them! And it does not happen anymore, so ... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Sometimes, I would even just eat the seasoning without the noodles. When my Mam makes rice porridge, I ask her if I could use the seasoning from Indomie and sprinkle them on my porridge :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">This is my fancy way of making Indomie. Add a little bit of this and that and of course you also eat them with rice :) Usually if I have them around, I also add some pakchoi (chinese cabbage) for some extra vegetable. My Mam always says, "If you want to eat Indomie, you also have to eat vegetables with it!"</span><br />

For internationals living in Holland, brace yourself, depressing weather is just around the corner. So I'll leave summer with a summer drink recipe. This drink may give you a double take when you are reading drink menus in Indonesia, "Huh? Happy Soda? What's in it?" </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.7777786254883px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>

Because, l</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.7777786254883px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">et's be honest here, who isn't happy with condensed milk, huh? :) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 17.7777786254883px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">When you drink it, you can stir the drink and mix the condensed milk with the soda or put your straw to the bottom of the glass and first get the milk and then pull up the straw and get the soda. The latter is my preference! </span><br />

Usually I look at the bottom of the glass and put about 1 - 1.5 cm of the milk. You can always add as much as you like.</span></span></li>

I cook them in big batches, eat some of them for dinner, keep some in the fridge for the next 2 days dinner and freeze the rest for next week or anytime I don't feel like cooking. The recipe is easy, all you have to do is just dump everything in the pan, wait for 1 - 2 hours and it will be ready! I recommend cooking this over the weekend because it does take some time to cook it. </span><br />

She gave me both the recipe for babi rica and babi kecap. She never really gave measurements, she listed all the ingredients and then I figure out myself how much stuff I should put in. I remember the first time I tried to make it I was being a smarty pants and added oyster sauce to it, <i>it did not taste good. </i>Well, it tasted okay, but it was a completely different taste than what I was trying to achieve. Stick to the classics Oliv!</span></span></div>

<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Marinate the pork with the lime juice and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Sauté all ingredients B for 5 minutes over medium heat until the onions are soft. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Add the marinated pork to the pan, mix and coat the the pork with the chili sauce. Let cook for 10 minutes with a lid on and low heat to extract the juices from the pork.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">The cooking process will take about 1hr to 1hr45, in the meantime add the water 250 ml at a time over medium low heat with a lid on. When you're on your last bit of water, let cook until the sauce reduces and thickens. At this time you should start to see the nice light brown color coating on the pork. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">Best serve, always with warm rice! :)</span></span></li>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">One of Manado's classic. Rica literally means chili, or spicy (hot). This dish focuses only on the hotness. It will be also slightly acidic, from the lemongrass and the kaffir lime leaves.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 30.6000003814697px;">It takes a while to cook it (about 2 hours) so I make it only once in a while. Normally I would make this for a special occasion, birthday party or christmas dinner or fancy things where a lot of people would enjoy it because it is such a crowd favorite! If you make this, a lot of people will be impressed ;) </span></span></div>
