(Grilled) Palu Konro

Sup Konro ala aku nih. Berhubung ga pernah dapet contekan resep aslinya & ga pernah puas sama sup konro yang biasa dijual sama si Daeng-Daeng itu... alhasil, cuman berbekal pengalaman si lidah, kemarin coba-coba bikin sendiri deh.

Bahan :
750 gr iga sapi, cuci bersih & tiriskan
1.5 ltr air
2 sdm kecap
3 sdm air asam
1 batang serai (ambil bagian putihnya), digeprak
minyak goreng untuk menumis
bawang goreng sebagai taburan

Bumbu Halus :
4 buah kluwak (pilih yg segar), ambil daging buahnya
1 sdm ketumbar
1 sdt merica
5 buah cengkeh
2 cm kunyit
gula & garam
bumbu penyedap

Cara Membuat :
Tumis bumbu halus hingga harum.
Masukkan serai, air asam & kecap manis, kemudian iga.
Aduk hingga daging iga berubah warna.
Tambahkan air, rebus dengan api kecil hingga empuk.

Note :

Kalo pengen konro yang dibakar, sisihkan sebagian kuah setelah pertama kali mendidih. Lanjutkan merebus hingga air menyusut/mengental dan iga cukup empuk (jangan terlalu maknyuss!). Bakar iga selama 3-5 menit pada tiap sisi. Sajikan dengan nasi hangat bersama kuahnya secara terpisah.

Hasilnya... emak sih cuma bilang, "Not bad laah. Mending yang ini deh ketimbang yang pernah kita cobain!" ( No warranty ahh! Mungkin maksudnya 'mendingan ketimbang beli' gitu kalee. Aaarrgh!!)

Oxtail Soup (Sop Buntut)

Ingredients :
700 kg beef oxtails, cut into small joint
1500 ml water
4 carrots, cubed
2 tomatoes (large size), quartered each one
2 onion sprigs, cut into 2cm
2 cm ginger, finely chopped
2 cloves
1 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
salt & sugar (optional)
seasoning powder (optional)
2 sprigs celery /coriander leaves
2 tbsp fried shallot & onion

Spice Paste (well grinded using mortar & pestle) :
4 cloves garlic
8 shallots
1 tsp white pepper

Method :
Boiled the water in a large pan, then add the oxtails in. (Or you may cook the oxtails with ginger and water. So you just need to cut to several chunky pieces before added). Never forget to take the foam (fat) at the top of the water until they all are gone.
Meanwhile, saute the spice paste, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg about 5-7 minutes (until aromatic).
Add in carrots, tomatoes, onion sprigs, sauted spice, salt & sugar.
Cook until the carrots are tender.
Taste the soup, just in case, you might need to add some seasonings.
Once the carrots are tender, the soup is done.
Sprinkle with chopped celery/coriander leaves & fried shallot/onion. Enjoy!

J-Co's here

Inspired by J-Co's Donuts we bought last week. The texture's so soft & moist. And last night was my first time serving this snack for my dearest family. I used to ignore my mom when she prepared to make the dough. Now, with my own creation I have to prove my family that I can do a lil' thing that mom used to do. So..... watch out, mom! I'm back!!!

Ingredients : (makes 20 medium donuts)
A :
100 gr all purpose flour
100 gr sugar
3 tsp instant yeast
200 ml water

B :
250 gr all purpose flour
30 gr milk powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter /shortening
1 large egg
50 gr flour for dusting

Method :
In a large bowl, combine ingredients A until well combine.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for about 1 hour. Or until double in size.
Gradually add in ingredients B into dough.
Mix the dough using mixer with hook attachment a few minutes.
Prepare your kneading surface by spreading a few tablespoons of flour on a smooth surface.
Put the dough in the middle of the flour and sprinkle a little flour on top and on your hands.
Knead the dough a few times.
Once the dough has been kneaded, spread it out to be 1 cm (a half inch) thick or with a rolling pin.
Now it is time to cut out the donuts. (I used a medium donut cutter to make 20-22 pieces)
Place the donuts on a floured pan to let rise as we get the oil ready (about 10 minutes).
Fried the donuts with low heat until golden brown on each side.
Allow the donuts to cool on a rack or on some paper so that the oil soaks off.
Then flavoring the donuts with fave glazes we desire.
Now we are ready to enjoy these donuts.

We had stumbled upon perfection. It involves only 7 ingredients that most everyone has in their pantries. And the donuts are sooo moist that they taste just as good the second day if they even last that long. Hey, mum... the recipe costs lest than a dollar to make!
