#recipega Stir-fry #gardenveggies for two Indonesian gatherings a.k.a. “#pengajian” today (Mama and Papa going to different circle) with #scrambledeggs in the center covered by ‘flowered’ #tomato. I didn’t mix them together bcs some people prefer not to eat either egg or tomato (ex: my hubby hates tomato 🙄). I noticed there’s used to be lack of veggies served in the potlucks or parties we went 😅. • • #vegetables in: #onion, #celery, tomato (juice + seeds only), #shimeji, #carrot, #cabbage, #nappa, #kabocha, #sweetcorn, #greenpeas, #broccoli. • • #cookingmama #potluck #japanlife #muslimlife Posted by @egadioniputri via Instagram

At night after the gatherings took place, a host messaged me to ask how the stir-fry could be still fresh yet all veggies are tender. I told her that basically I used little water and relied on ‘steaming’ each vegetable in the covered pan a couple minutes. The timing for adding vegetables also mattered to make them cooked thoroughly. Start from the hard ones to the soft ones, ex: carrot -> pumpkin -> cabbage -> broccoli. Don’t put some more water otherwise your already-cooked-veggies will be withered. The result should be crunchy veggies with slight seasonings traced.

Blackened #redfish (#ソイ / #soifish in Japan), grilled with homemade #cajunseasoning. #Cookingfish always becomes a challenge for #recipega, especially if it’s the #wholefish. Removing the dirts isn’t simple and tests the patience already, moreover making it – not stinky – fully cooked without breaking the body structure • • Based on my several experiments, here are some tips I noted for #grillingfish: 1) Let the skin on 2) Use oil to coat entire fish 3) Include lemon / lime juice when marinating fish with the herbs / spices 4) Split in the middle horizontally (make it “flat” like this photo) 5) Use racks or fish griller tweezers 6) Grill in opened fire or “broil” mode • • #cookingmama #cajunfish #allrecipes Posted by @egadioniputri via Instagram
