RicePapers

Rice papers is one of Vietnam traditional dish. Biasanya isinya udang and vegetables wrapped in a thin spring roll look a like skin which made from rice. It is looks like a raw spring rolls if you don't have any idea about it.  You can buy the skin at supermarket or food store that sells Asian ingredients.
Actually you can put anything you like inside your rice papers. Meat,chicken,seafood,veggies etc

I made these shrimp rice papers for my hubby's healthy snack. I just can't stand him eating gorengan or mie ayam as his late night snack at the office.

My rice papers filled with boiled shrimp, carrots, kyuri (Japanese cucumber) and glass noodles. Pretty healthy right?

And now my mom's french toast has became one of my fave recipe. It's very simple, yummy and healthy for breakfast. So If you're outa idea for your breakfast, maybe you could try this recipe. It's the collaboration of my mom french toast with my own modification, Cheesy Smoked Beef French toast *sounds weird* hahahaha....

• breads
• smoked beef
• sliced cheese
• eggs

how to?

• crack the eggs, whisk them
• put smoked beef & cheese into the bread (just like make sandwich)
• coat the bread with eggs batter
• grilled the bread with grilling pan, until it's done and has a grilling mark.
• serve the french toast with fresh milk & fruit..voila! you have one healthy breakfast :)

If you don't like something cheesy and beefy, just leave them and make a simple french toast. Then sprinkle it with icing sugar or pour honey or maple syrup on top of it (just like pancake).

Spicy Chicken Bok Coy

I'm feeling for something spicy and veggies. And Tarmi, my kitchen assistant, just bought bok coy from the market. So let's do something with this fresh bok coy. No..don't think that I'll make something so extravagant, this is just a simple recipe but yet it's quite healthy.   

You'll need :

• chicken breast, cut it into small cuts
• 5-6 cove garlic, diced it
• chilies, cut it (you can put more chilies if you like it hot&spicy)
• soy sauce
• bokcoy

How to?

• Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, garlic and chilies. Put it in the fridge for about an hour or more so it will absorb into the chicken. 
• After that grilled the chicken
• While grilling the chicken, boil the bok coy (don't boil them too long or you're gonna loose the freshness),  drained then pour them with cold water to stop the boiling process (this will make the bok choy stay&look fresh)
• When the chicken is done, serve it with rice, bok coy and soy sauce+cut chilies

Mendoan Khas Kampung Halamanku

Siapa yang tak kenal Mendoan? Tempe berbalutkan tepung dan digoreng setengah matang yang merupakan khas Purwokerto ini sudah dikenal oleh masyarakat kita. Mendoan berasal dari kata Mendo yang berarti setengah matang atau lembek. Sebagai orang Purwokerto (leluhur doang), tempe Mendoan ini sudah menjadi santapan khas di rumah. Pokoknya kalau inget Oemah Sekartadji (my residence-red) pasti inget karo mendoane. Oemah Sekartadji dan mendoan nampaknya sudah menjadi satu bagian yang tidak bisa dipisahkan, terbukti dengan banyaknya teman keluarga yang kerap mencari Mendoan ketika bertandang ke rumah bahkan memesan Mendoan khas Oemah Sekartadji for their special occasion ;) 

Menggoreng mendoan itu gampang-gampang susah untuk mendapatkan rasa setengah matang yang pas. Mendoan biasanya disajikan bersama dengan sambal kecap (kecap manis+cabai rawit) atau cukup dengan cabai rawit saja. Saya sendiri lebih suka menikmati mendoan dengan cabai rawit yang pedas. Waaahh rasanya benar-benar muanntapp..kalau kata Pak Bondan, makk nyuss..hehehehe...

Penasaran sama Mendoan Oemah Sekartadji? boleh kapan-kapan pesan ya....hehehehe...*teteup*
