Chinese sweet and sour sauce usually got a pleasant tangy or sour flavour derived from vinegar or lemon juice. But you can easily replace it with tamarind paste or any sour citrus juice. Sligthly different from my Saus Padang or Padangnese Hot and Spicy Chilli Sauce that contains coconut milk and spices, this number 35 on World’s 50 most delicious foods; Singapore style chilli sauce contains less ingredients. I guess that’s why my Indonesian Beef Rendang is always be the Number ONE.

Even this sauce tagged as “chilli” sauce, the taste is likely not really hot and spicy.

Third, you should handle the spinny lobster with kitchen towel to protect your hand because it’s head had several sharp spines that could harmed your hand.

Resep Garo Bunga Pepaya & Ikan Cakalang Fufu Khas Manado, Manadonese Papaya Blossom with Shredded Smoked Skipjack Tuna

Garo Bunga Pepaya dan Ikan Cakalang Fufu khas Manado

Garo Bunga Pepaya is a traditional vegetable dish from Manadonese or  Minahasa descent people in North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Garo Bunga Pepaya derived from the word garo which means mixed or stirred and bunga for flower or blosssom, while pepaya is Indonesian word for papaya or papaw. Literrary, garo bunga pepaya means stir fry papaya blossom or flower. Papaya blossom is actually a unmatured buds of male papaya flower. Bunga pepaya had a bitter taste, that’s why this ethnic tropical edible flower requires a proper treatment prior too cooking. Several known  methods are boiling the papaya blossom with salted water and/or kapur sirih or calcium hydroxide,  besides, you can simply add  daun jambu or guava leaves while you boiling it. This methods can be used to treat the papaya leaves for making  tumis bunga dan daun pepaya,but this treatments is not necessary if you want to cook the young papaya fruit.

Garo bunga pepaya is usually accompanion with cakalang fufu or smoked skipjack tuna. The shredded smoked skipjack tuna give a savoury flavour and smokey aromas to the dish.  Since i can’t access any cakalang fufu nearby my place, then i purchased the fresh skipjack tuna and try to smoking fish without smokers.
