indonesian recipe

Fu Yung Hai is a Peranakan (Indonesian Chinese) intake of Egg Foo Young. It was brought by Chinese migrants long before European settlements arrived in Nusantara. No wonder, the Dutch knows this dish as Fu Yung Hai as well..

From its name, the dish should contain crab meat as Hai means Crab in Chinese (correct me if I&#x27;m wrong).  However, people still label under the same name without crab as the meat.

Egg foo young is a popular dish that you can find at many Chinese restaurants in Canada and US that brought the New World by Cantonese descendants.

This recipe was adapted from Indonesian Chinese cookbook by Cherry Hadibroto but I slightly changed the ingredients toward what I had in my fridge and pantry.

Keep calm and curry on with make-ahead pork rendang – a traditional Indonesian recipe that is full of warming flavours and slow-cooked until the meat melts in your mouth.

Indonesian pork rendang

tbsp sunflower oil, plus extra for frying

shallots, quartered

fresh ginger, grated

tbsp turmeric

tbsp coriander

tbsp cumin

tsp dried chilli flakes

sea salt

red chilli, stalk removed,

garlic cloves,

coriander,

x coconut milk

1.5kg British pork shoulder, excess fat removed, diced into 3cm cubes

bay leaves

lemongrass stick, bruised

rice

Heat a glug of oil in a flameproof lidded casserole and fry the shallots for 5 minutes over a medium heat, then turn off the heat. Put half the shallots in a food processor with the ginger, ground spices, chilli flakes, salt, the whole chilli, garlic, coriander stalks, 2 tbsp of the coconut milk and 2 tbsp oil. Whizz to a rough paste.

Turn the heat under the casserole back to medium and add the pork. Fry for 5 minutes, stirring, to brown. Add the spice paste, fry for a minute, then add the remaining coconut milk, bay leaves and lemongrass. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to very low. Cover and leave to simmer gently for 2 hours 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn up the heat until the curry bubbles merrily, then cook uncovered for 40 minutes more, stirring every now and then to stop it sticking. The sauce should be thick and the meat falling apart. Stir in the lime juice, sprinkle over the coriander leaves and extra chilli, then serve with rice and the lime wedges for squeezing over.

Roti jala, roti kirai or roti renjis is a type of Malaysian lacy crepe that is also popular in Indonesia and Singapore.

Roti Jala

flour

water ((at room temperature))

coconut milk

eggs

salt

turmeric

Ghee ((or vegetable oil))

Stand mixer

Cheesecloth

Roti jala utensil ((5-tip squeeze bottle))

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, water, coconut milk, eggs, salt and turmeric, and mix for 5 minutes, until smooth.

Filter the resulting mixture through a cheesecloth or mix it for a few minutes in a blender to reduce any lumps.

Heat a nonstick skillet, very lightly greased with vegetable oil or ghee, over medium heat.

Fill the roti jala bottle with the batter and, working very quickly, drizzle the batter onto the pan in rapid circular motions forming a lacy or net pattern. Movements can also be horizontal and vertical.

Let the roti jala cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side (do not flip).

Slide the roti jala from the pan onto a plate.

Repeat the same process until all the batter is used up.

When the rotis are cool enough to handle, fold both sides of the pancake and roll them to form a small cylinder.

Jeremy Pang&#8217;s nasi goreng

medium free-range eggs,

garlic clove, finely chopped

½ red pepper, finely chopped

asparagus spears,

cooked rice,

Vegetable oil

Finely chopped spring onion

For the sauce

tsp sambal (see Tips below)

tomato purée

½ tbsp light soy sauce

tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)

½ tsp sesame oil

Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and season.

Build your Wok Clock*: start at 12 o’clock with the eggs, then the garlic, red pepper, asparagus, rice and lastly the sauce.

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in your wok over a high heat. Once smoking hot, pour the eggs into the oil and allow to bubble up before breaking them up and scrambling. Push the eggs to the back of the wok, then add the garlic, red pepper and asparagus, stir-frying for 30 seconds between each new ingredient.

Push all the veg to the back of the wok, add ½ tbsp vegetable oil and bring to smoking point before adding the rice. Break up any clumps of rice by pushing down on them against the wok with a spatula or ladle. Fold the vegetables and egg into the rice to combine and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, then pour the sauce over the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes more. Some of the rice should begin to crisp up for texture and flavour. Garnish with spring onion and serve.
