One day I saw my neighbor bought oyster mushroom at the veggie seller. Then casually I asked her what would she do with it. She said that she was about to make crispy mushroom. It sounded very good to me. As I told you in my previous post about bakso wortel jamur that I really rarely cook mushroom. Then I went googling and found that many of my friends were already posted about it in their blogs. Oh dear, I am so outmoded... kudet, kudet as Raditya Dika said in his ads... ha ha
Basically it is oyster mushroom that is coated in flour mixture and then deep fried. To make it crispier, as I read in many sites, we can do one of the following. First is dipping mushroom in beaten egg first before the flour mixture. Another is dipping it in wet batter of flour and then in dry flour mixture.
This morning I tried the second way. I got the recipe from sajian sedap. I made half of the recipe and since there were some leftover batters I added some chicken wings in it. I thought that my curry powder was mild curry. The taste was subtle but surely make the mushroom and chicken more tasty and have nicely golden color. They were crunchy with crispy skin, especially when they were fresh from the pan... In the afternoon they were a bit soften though I kept them in tupperware.
Yesterday the veggie seller came to my house bringing ikan patin (pangasius). Aha! I already read recipes about ikan patin at sajian sedap. There are at least 3 recipes I got: asam pedas ikan patin, gulai ikan patin, and gulai tempoyak ikan patin. They are all sounds good. I didn't know whether idfb accept asam pedas or not, is asam pedas a gulai/curry?... I also couldn't get the tempoyak. Then, gulai ikan patin was the one!
I usually cook young jackfruit (or nangka in Bahasa Indonesia or cubadak in West Sumatra) for lodeh (coconut milk soup) or megono (young jackfruit steamed with grated coconut). But some days ago my friends Rosdaniar and Pepy suggested me to try it in gulai (cooked in curry-like sauce). Pepy has the recipe in her blog, Indonesiaeats. Iam happy to try her recipe because she used shrimp instead of beef. I am not a big fans of beef. So, if there is a choice, I prefer seafood than beef. This gulai was very good, perfect to eat with lontong. Thanks Pep ^^ (If you want the recipe please go to her blog).
Actually I made this for the idfb challenge 7. But before I posted this entry, some other friends already posted about this as well. So, what should I do now? Keep submitting this entry or try to cook another gulai/curry?
Still 2 days to go...let's see what can I do...
