Pempek Palembang, Makanan Representatif Kekayaan Bumi Sriwijaya Bagi Mata Dunia

Dua hal pertama yang anda pikirkan setelah melihat gambar diatas adalah PALEMBANG dan PEMPEK. Pempek begitu melekat dengan Kota Palembang dan tidak dapat dipisahkan satu sama lain. Anda belum resmi mengunjungi kota Palembang jika belum mencicipi pempek dari tanah Bumi Sriwijaya.

Palembang (Sumatera Selatan) dianugerahi Sungai Musi dengan hasil perikanan yang melimpah. Hal ini menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan sebagian besar kuliner Bumi Sriwijaya menggunakan bahan utama ikan sungai. Hasil perikanan Sungai Musi yang melimpah pada saat musim panen membuat masyarakat tepian Sungai Musi (Palembang) terbiasa untuk mengolah ikan untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomis dan membuat  daya tahan lebih lama dengan pengolahan diasinkan, diasap, serta dibuat menjadi pempek atau kerupuk ikan Palembang.

Pempek atau Empek-empek adalah panganan khas Palembang (Sumatera Selatan) yang terbuat dari ikan dan tepung tapioka. Pempek dalam translasi bahasa Inggris umumnya disebut fish cake, sama seperti siomay ataupun olahan daging ikan lainnya; akan tetapi saus pencelup pempek bernama Cuko yang membuat pempek menjadi spesial dan berbeda dari hasil olahan ikan lainnya. Pempek memiliki rasa guri dan aroma seafood atau ikan yang sangat menggoda sehingga pempek sangat tepat disajikan sebagai appetizer atau hidangan pembuka karena dapat menggelitik indera pengecapdang neggugah selera makan.

Cuko  atau saus pempek dibuat dari  cabe rawit, udang kering ebi, & bawang putih yang dihaluskan. Semua bahan saus cuko tersebut direbus bersamaan dengan air, gula merah dan asam jawa. Cuko didihkan dengan api kecil sampai rasa langu atau pedas menyengat cabe rawit hilang atau berkurang. Cuko memiliki rasa yang kompleks; pedas dari cabe, manis legit dari gula jawa , asam dari buah tamarind (asam jawa), asin dan gurih dari ebi serta garlicky dari bawang putih, semua menyatu menjadi saus cuko yang memiliki rasa memikat.

Sejarah pempek tidak terkonfirmasi dalam catatan literatur atau jurnal sejarah yang dapat dipertanggung jawabkan secara ilmiah, akan tetapi dilihat dari kemiripan dari metode dan bahannya; pempek kemungkinan besar berasal dari negeri Tiongkok atau Cina ( terdapat hidangan mirip pempek seperti ke kien & bakso ikan). Hikayat asal kata pempek adalah cara memanggil masyarakat kepada penjual pempek keturunan Tionghoa (Apek) saat akan membeli adalah “pek….apek beli”, dan tercetuslah nama makanan empek-empek atau pempek.

Pempek adalah makanan yang sarat dengan nilai gizi karena bahan utamanya adalah daging ikan, tepung dan telur. Ikan dan telur adalah sumber protein, sedangkan tepung adalah sumber karbohidrat, sehingga pempek dalh camilan yang bergizi. Jumlah gizi dan kalori pempek ditentukan dari  bahan, pengolahan dan penyajian. Nilai gizi pempek standar(perbandingan berat tepung & tapioka 1:1) dalam 100 gr pempek rebus terdapat 182 kalori,  9,2 gr protein, 3,8 gr lemak, 27,8 gr karbohidrat, 401 mg kalsium,  116 mg fosfor, 2,4 mg zat besi, 13 IU vitamin A, serta 0,16 mg vitabin B1. Kalori pempek ini dapat bertambah dengan proses penggorengan sebelum disajikan.

Pengolah pempek yang direbus  atau dikukus adalh cara mempertahankan nilai gizi terbaik karena sebagian besar vitamin dan asam amino atau lemak baik esensial dari daging ikan segar dapat dipertahankan dan tidak rusak oleh suhu pemanasan yang tinggi seperti dengan menggoreng.

Pempek Palembang memiliki beberapa varian, mulai dari bahan, cara membuat dan cara penyajiannya; variasi pempek palembang:

A. Pempek Lenjer

Pempek Lenjer adalah pempek berbentuk lonjong atau tubular tanpa isi. Jenis pempek ini adalah pempek yang paling mudah untuk dibuat karena hanya perlu dipulung dengan tangan di atas bidang datar agar diameter pempek lenjer merata. Pempek lenjer direbus sampai terlebih dahulu sebelum digoreng dan disajikan

Pempek Kapal Selam

B. Pempek Kapal Selam.

Pempek Kapal Selam adalah pempek yang diisi telur mentah utuh, direbus sampai matang dan digoreng dalam minyak panas. Pempek ini dinamakan kapal selam karena bentuk pempek ini yang tebal pada bagian bawah dan pipih pada bagian atas yang menyerupai bentuk kapal selam. pempek kapal selam dapat berisi telur ayam ataupun teur bebek, keduanya tentu saja enak!

C. Pempek Keriting.

Pempek berbentuk keriting berongga menyerupai kerupuk bulat sehingga pempek ini disebut sebgai pempek kerupuk. Pempek kerupuk dibuat dengan mennilas adonan pempek pada gilingan pempek atau pirikan ikan berbahan metal (kuningan) berongga kecil sehingga adonan menjadi panjang menyerupai mie lalu dibulatkan dan dikukus sampai matang. Sebelum dikonsumsi pempek keriting terlebih dahulu digoreng dan disajikan dengan cuko.

D. Pempek Telok kecil (Telur kecil)

Pempek telok kecik adalah pempek yang menyerupai pempek kapal selam tetapi ukurannya lebih kecil dan diisi dengan sedikit kocokan putih dan kuning telur ayam atau bebek.

E. Pempek Pistel Kates

Pempek pistel kates adalah pempek yang diisi dengan tumisan pepaya muda. Adonan pempek pistel memiliki rasio tepung dan air yang lebih banyak dibanding daging ikan agar elastis saat diisi adonan tumisa kates dan ebi, pempek ini ditutup dengan memilin ujungnya sehingga memberikan bentuk yang khas.

F. Adaan (Bulat)

Pempek adaan adalah pempek yang berarti dadakan atau dibuat dengan menggoreng langsung adonan pempek tanpa proses perebusan atau pengukusan terlebih dahulu. bentuk pempek adaan pada umumya adalah bundar menyerupai bakso. Variasi lain yang sering ditambahkan pada adonan pempek adaan adalah irisan dun bawang, bawang merah ataupun kucai.

G. Pempek Kulit Ikan

Pempek kulit ikan adalah pempek yang adonannya ditambahkan gilingan kulit ikan sehingga berwarna lebih gelap dari pempek yang lain. Pempek kulit dibuat dengan langgsung menggoreng adonan tanpa proses perebusan atau pengukusan terlebih dahulu. Pempek kulit ikan biasanya berbentuk bulat dan pipih.

H. Pempek Lenggang.

pempek Lenggang adalah pempek yang dibuat dengan memasukkan adonan pempek ke dalam kocokan telur ayam atau bebek sehingga menyerupai omelet. Pempek lenggang dapat dibuat dengan digoreng pada panci anti lengket dengan dengan sedikit minyak ataupun dibakar diatas bara arang dan dialasi cetakan yang terbuat dari daun pisang.

I. Pempek Tunu (Panggang)

Pempek crispy adalah pempek yang goreng garing yang dibuat dari adonan pempek adaan ataupun adonan pempek kulit. Baking soda ditambahkan ke adonan pempek agar pempek mengenbang dan garing saat disoreng dalam minyak panas. 3. Pempek Keju Pempek keju adalah pempek berbentuk menyerupai penpek lenjer dengan isin batangan keju. Masakan Turunan Pempek; 1. Tekwan

Tekwan adalalah sup bening yang dibuat dengan adonan pempek yang dibulatkan kecil kecil dan direbus dalam kaldu udang atau seafood lainnya. Tekwan berasal dari kata “berkotTEK samo kaWAN”, yang dalam bahasa palembang artinya duduk mengobrol bersama teman. Tekwan sering dimasak dengan tambahan asinan bunga sedap malam, irisan bengkuang dan jamur kuping. Daging udang segar cincang juga sering ditambahkan ke dalam adonan tekwan. Tekwan disajikan dengan taburan irisan daun bawang, seledri, dan bawang goreng.

2. Pempek Model Pempek model pada dasarnya adalah pempek yang diisi dengan tahu, digoreng sampai matang kemudian disajikan dengan kuah sup seperti tekwan. 3. Celimpungan

Celimpungan adalah pempek berbentuk bulat yang dimasak dalam kuah gulai kental bersantan tidak pedas menyerupai kuah opor. Rasio daging ikan terhadap tepung pada celimpungan harus lebih besar agar celimpungan lembut.

4. Laksan Laksan adalah pempek berbentuk menyerupai pempek lenjer yang dipotong kecil dan dimasak dalam kuah gulai kental bersantan pedas berwarna kemerahan. Rasio daging ikan terhadap tepung pada laksan harus lebih besar agar teksturnya lembut. 5. Pangsit Ikan Pangsit ikan adalah adonan ikan (ikan belida) yang diisikan ke dalam kulit pangsit dan disajikan dengan kuah kaldu udang atau kaldu seafood. Setelah mengetahui jenis-jenis pempek atau empek-empek Palembang, sekarang saatnya belajar bahan dan proses pembuatan pempek!

Ikan sebagai bahan  dasar pembuatan pempek menggunakan ikan lokal perairan Sunai Musi seperti ikan belida (Notopterus chitala), akan tetap karena ikan belida semakin sulit ditemukan, ikan sungai lain seperti ikan gabus (Channa striata), ikan putak (Notopterus notopterus), dan ikan bujuk (Channa lucius) digunakan. Ikan laut berdaging putih seperti ikan tenggiri(Cybium commersoni), Tuna (Tunnus albacares) dan ikan parang-parang (Chirocentrus dorab) digunakan sebagai bahan pembuatan pempek karena ketersediannya di pasaran yang selalu konstan.

Resep dasar pembuatan pempek berbeda antara satu dapur dan dapur lainnya, perbandingan antara bahan dasar tepung tapioka dan ikan memegang peranan penting dalam menentukan rasa dan tekstur pempek. Semakin banyak tepung tapioka pada adonan pempek maka teksturnya akan menjadi semakin kenyal dan rasa ikan minimal, sedangkan semakin banyak ikan yang digunakan dalam adonan maka tekstur pempek akan semakin lembut dan rasa semakin enak. Perbandingan standar antara ikan dan tepung tapioka adalah 1:1-2. beberapa bahan berikut ini ditambahkan dalam pembuatan pempek;

1. Bawang putih, digiling sampai halus untuk memberikan rasa dan aroma pada pempek.
2. Tepung Terigu, ditambahkan pada adonan pempek agar tekstur pempek lebih lembut dan mudah digigit
3. Putih telur, ditambahkan untuk membuat tekstur adonan pempek menjadi renyah dan membal ketika digigit.
4. Air es, ditambahkan untuk membuat tekstur pempek lebih membal
5. Air, ditambahkan untuk membuat tekstur adonan pempek lebih elastis walau menggunakan tepung yang banyak (pembuatan pempek pistel)
6. Baking Powder, dibuat untuk membuat adonan pempek mengembang, renyah dan garing saat digoreng (pembuatan pempek crispy)

Sebelum mebuat pempek, pastika daging ikan yang digunakan adalah daging ikan yang segar. Pisahkan daging ikan dari tulang dan kulit dengan dikeruk menggunakan sendok. Kali ini saya beruntung mendapatkan ikan belida dari Sungai musi di Pasar Cinde Palembang dengan harga Rp.180.000 per kg, cukup mahal tapi sebanding dengan rasanya.

pirikan ikan gilingan ikan kuningan

Setelah daging ikan belida dipisahkan dari tulang badan dan kulitnya, duri kecil pada dagingnya harus dibuang terlebih dahulu menggunakan pirikan atau gilingan ikan bulat yang terbuat dari kuningan khusus berbolong-bolong pada bagian bawahnya.

Untuk membuat pempek ikan belida (lenjer kecil) aku menambahkan putih telur dan bawang putih giling pada adonan pempek. Semua bahan duileni sampai dapat dibentuk dengan tangan. Adonan pempek ikan belida dilapisi tepung tapioka tipis lalu dipulung atau digulung dengan tangan pad bidang datar sampai membentuk pipa tubular dengandiameter tang sama lalu sisihkan.

Panaskan air sampai mendidih dengan api kecil (soft boiling) lalu masukan adonan pempek ikan belida didalamnya. Jangan tergesa-gesa untuk membesarkan api agar pempek lebih cepat matang karena panas berlebihan mebuat adonan pempek mengembang dan pecah atau retak seketika.

Ingat selalu merebus adonan pempek dengan api kecil agak pempek matang dengan merata. Pempek ikan telah matang ditandai dengan terapungnya pempek tersebut di air. Angkat dan dinginkan adonan pempek, dapat disajikan langsung atau dipotong-potong sebelum disajikan dengan cuko

Pempek ikan belida adalah pempek dengan rasa, tekstur dan penampilan terbaik, daging ikan belida putih alami dengan rasa gurih ikan yang intens serta tekstur membal alami. Seiring dengan semakin berkurangnya ikan belida liar di Sungai Musi, saya secara pribadi tidak menyarankan untuk melanjutkan konsumsi ikan belida.

Tips dan trik

Pada dasarnya pembuatan semua pempek  baik ikan bahkan udang  sama saja dengan pembuatan pempek ikan belida. Untuk pembuatan pempek udang, rasio perbandingan daging ikan + udang:tepung tapioka tetap 1:1 akan tetapi jika jumlah tepung ingin ditambahkan maka dapat diakali dengan menambahkan telur utuh (putih dan kuning) agar tekstur pempek tidak terlalu kenyal. Tepung terigu juga dapat ditambahkan agar adonan menjadi lebih lembut dan lebih mudah digigit.

Adonan Pempek Ikan Tenggiri & Udang

Pempek Udang Kapal Selam & Lenjer

Pempek Udang Matang yang Mengapung

Pempek Udang Kapal Selam & Lenjar Didinginkan Sebelum Digoreng & Disajikan dengan Cuko

Untuk pembuatan cuko, rebus gula merah, asam jawa, bawang putih halus, ebi sangrai dan cabe rawit halus sampai matang dengan api kecil dan jumlah air berkurang sepertiga sampai setengah volume awal. Setengah bagian cabe rawit dibiarkan bertangkai sebelum dihaluskan untuk mencegah diare sat mengkonsumsinya, penulis tidak dapat mendukung dengan fakta ilmiah tapi hal ini dipraktekkan sebagai rahasia mencegah diare saat mengkonsumsi cabe rawit.

Kesimpulan dari tulisan ini adalah betapa kayanya khazanah kuliner Indonesia, pempek adalah salah satu panganan pusaka kuliner dari bumi Sriwijaya yang merepresentasikan keragaman rasa dan budaya Indonesis di mata dunia, seperti rasa Pempek dengan Kuah Cuko yang kompleks dan pastinya enak! Selain itu yang terpenting pempek adalah makanan yang penuh cita rasa serta bergizi tinggi!

Recipe Lobster Rendang Indonesian Spicy Curry

Lobster Rendang Curry Recipe. Spinny lobster or tropical rock lobster pan grilled with spicy rendang sauce. Rendang or mostly known as rendang daging or beef rendang is typically Indonesian spicy beef curry that cooked slowly with constant gentle stirring for several hours until the spices got dark brown color when it well caramelized. Dentist Chef had ever post the Ultimate Beef Rendang Step by Step Recipe  if you want to test the damn delicious CNN NO. 1 World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods’ list.

Lobster with the spicy rendang curry sauce, i want made it right so it simply means i need to made the spicy rendang sauce and the coconut cream caramelized and browned before the lobster tail meat overcooked and turned into unedible dried and tough.

Before we takling about rendang, i should acknowledge you that In Minangkabau culinary tradition, there are stages of Rendang spice doness. Rendang doness category is according to the liquid content in cooked coconut milk, ranges from the soupy most wet to the most dry: Gulai — Kalio — Rendang. The  spices ingredients of gulai, kalio and rendang is almost identical with the exceptions that gulai usually uses less red chilli pepper and got more turmeric, while rendang uses more varieties of  spices.

When you making rendang and you stop to cooked it right when the meat is done and the coconut milk has reached its boiling point, you have gulai. If the process continues well until the coconut milk is partly evaporated with brownish colored meats, then you have kalio. When the process continued hours more until the liquid completely evaporated and the color turns to dark brown almost black in color, then you have rendang. According to this notions, the real rendang is those with less liquid contents.

The colors also indicate of rendang spices doness; rendang is dark brown while gulai have light yellow color and  kalio is brown, and  However, today there are two kinds of rendangs commonly found: dried and wet. Dentist Chef Beef Rendang  show the step by step pictorial of Indonesian rendang doness.

Making rendang lobster is kinda tricky; you need to USE THE HIGEST HEAT of your stove to fasten the caramelisation of the rendang curry sauce, USING NON STICKY SHALLOW & WIDE GRILLING PAN also made the evaporation of the liquid even better, using non sticky pan also help prevent the rendang spices sticked in the bottom and burned out because you using very high heat while cooking it. USING THICK COCONUT CREAM instead of thin coconut milk it’s a must if you want to make lobster rendang curry because too much liquid on the coconut milk made it boil instead of “fried” the spices and the spices need more time to caramelized, in the other hand the liquid vapour steam the lobster meat insde and made it tent to be overcooked even more. If you attemp to made prawn rendang, shrimp rendang or other seafood rendang this tips is also applied!

Now, let’s we begin to make LOBSTER RENDANG CURRY!!!

First  you need to cut the lobster into  two equal pieces and seasoned it with, lime juice, salt and white peppercorn.  Heat up some oli in the shallow & wide grilling pan then sear the meat side down until it slighly chareed in the outside. Hear the nice sizzling sound of it when you sear the lobster meat.

Turn the lobster meat side up and then sear the shell side down for another 1 minutes. You should need a sizzling sound  and you know you’re doing it right!

Pour the rendang curry spices, oven the lobster, basting the lobster with it then let the spices sauteed with the oil and completely evaporated with nice sizzling sound. Keep stirring the spices to let it cooked evenly.

Turn down the heat a little bit then pour the heavy coconut cream to the lobster and rendang spices. Keep stirred the rendang spices to let it distributed evenly and let the water evaporates even better. You will see the coconut cream made the rendang spices had whitish creamy color

The lobster rendang sauce color now slowly turned out darker when the coconut cream renderred into coconut oil and “fried” the spices once it evaporated. This process is the key of success of lobster rendang, when you see the cream rendered into oil, you need to turn the heat into medium unless you burned out the spices. Keep stirring and distributes the rendang sauce into the lobster meat and stop the cooking process once your lobster meat is perfectly cooked. Making lobster rendang is much more quickl only take about 15-20 minutes for medium size lobster (350-500grams) compare to beef rendang that takes 4 hours.

Indonesian Food Festival at Cerenti Restaurant Grand Zury BSD City Hotel Tangerang

Indonesian Food Festival at Cerenti Restaurant Grand Zury BSD City Hotel.

In saturday night (15/08) i had an invitation to join the Nusantara (Indonesian) Food Festival  in Grand Zury Hotel BSD City. Actually i was invited by the event coordinator Arie from Catatan si Goiq, after some weekend brunch at Signature Restaurant Kempinski Hotel Indonesia we rushed our cab to meet at FX Sudirman where the Luxury shuttle van picked us. Me and several food blogger then had a one our drive to BSD City.

Celebrating the 70th Indonesian Independence day on 17 Agust 2015, Cerenty restaurant bring the authentic Indonesian dishes into their buffet menu. The restaurant interior also decorated with red and white and many Indonesian Flag to remember the fallen heroes.

We are kindly welcomed byGrand Zury BSD Hotel Executive Chef Roby Mardeta. He is such a humble and warm person, expertised for years or experience in proffessional kitchen, he kindly explained all the Nusantara Food Festival Buffet menu to the starving and curious foodies attended at the event.

Lets begin to explore the Menu of Cerenti Restaurant Indonesian Food Festival!

The Appetizer

Chef Roby served Tahu Gimbal and Pecel as the appetizers. Tahu Gimbal is an Indonesian street food from Semarang, Central Java. Tahu gimbal is consist of shrinp fritter that cut down into bite pieces, tofu, beansprout and then drizzled with sweet savoury peanut sauce. Pecel is a mix of vegetables that dressed with the same peanut sauce just like Tahu Gimbal

The Main Course:

Chef Roby Had a Nasi Kuning Tumpeng. Tumpeng is a Cone shaped yellowish rice mountain that served with  vegetables and meat in the bottom. The rice is basically colored and flavoured with turmeric based seasoning and cooked with or without coconut cream.

The other rice dish is plain steamed rice and Nasi Goreng Kampung. A spicy kind of fried rice that resembles of Mother’s home cooking to let the Hotel’s guesses felt comfort & homey while staying and dinning at the hotel. The spices and the hotness of the kampung fried rice is quite kicking with generous ammount of chopped chilies, my Indonesian licking very lovin it!

This is Mie Goreng Yogya, a stir fry noodle with kecap manis or Indonesian sweet soy sauce. I recently had 2 Days 3 Night culinary adventure in Yogyakarta and i pretty sure this Mie Goreng Yogya is quite authentic; kids and those who can’t handle spicy food must be lovin. A little bit attention is the amount of oil using to stir fry the the noodle, it’s a little bit oily or greasy for my licking.

Beef Rendang Daging from the Sumatra Island, this is the highlight of the whole menu for me, the beef is cooked for 4 hours until the spices and the coconut milk caramelized until dark brown and rich rendang spices. I guess it’s worthed since Chef Roby invited the native rendang cook from the Minangkabau Land in West Sumatrab to get the authenticity of the rendang.  Check Dentist Chef Indonesian Beef Rendang for the authentic recipe.

 Terik Ayam  from Semarang, a yellowish kind of Opor or thick chicken curry. Terik Ayam is cooked in so rich spices and coconut broth and usually shredded into ieces over nasi uduk or coconut milk enriched steamed rice, but today the chicken cut into individual pieces.

Tahu Aci Tegal, a lovely side dich made of deep fried tofu stuffed with tapioca and fish paste batter. Lovin it hot and fresh from the deep fryer, never served it cold unless you had a hard and very chewy piece of tahu aci.

Tunis Genjer Oncom Pedas. Genjer (Limnocharis flava), yellow sawah lettuce  or yellow burr head lettuce is not a common veggies served in a Hotels restaurant bufffet so i appreciate the effort of Chef Roby and team to represent the Indonesian culinary treasure. The tumis genjer is cooked into perfection with nice charred shallots, garlic and green chilli flavour on it.

Ikan Bakar Woku Menado from the Sulawesi Island is a lovely rich spicy dish from Minahasa Descent Culinary.  The fish fillet mixed with rich and spicy seasoning with fragrance kemangi or lemon basil leaves on it. The spices for woku ikan in authentic menado or Minahasa cuisine  is used to be sauteed until a little bit undercooked with pungent raw chilies flavour (local called “langu”) but the Woku ikan by chef roby spices is tad overcooked or sauteed until well done, maybe he adjust the flavour to the common Indonesian licking that didn’t like “langu” flavour. Chef Roby using gindara fish or Pacific black cod fish fillet for this recipe, i wish he used our local fish instead to support our local firsherman. To get the authentic recipe; ypu can check Dentist Chef Ikan Woku Belanga Recipe.

Soto Betawi is the only soup dish we had tonight. Soto Betawi is  Jakarta’s treasure of mild spiced beef soup with fresh milk dressed broth. Authentic Soto Betawi using Minyak Samin or ghee butter for the soup but Chef Roby decided not because he want the soup healthier and taste lighter.

The Soto Betawi served inthe soup station with variety of condiment; cubed potato’ tomato, scallion, bawang goreng deep fried shallots, and kaffir limes wedges. You can choose the beef for the soup, either the lean topside or fatty brisket, i choose both for my soto betawi and i let the staff prepare the soup for me.

Sous Vide Matsusaka Wagyu Beef Steak with Mushrooms Butter

Sous Vide Matsusaka Wagyu Beef with Mushrooms Crust, Served with Porcini Mushrooms Infused Butter

Premium beef such Matsusaka wagyu need a prescise method to cooked it; i prefer sous vide for any prime beef meat since my previous SOUS VIDE KOBE BEEF Served with Kaffir Lime Ponzu is turned out really good,  even sous vide method make choice grade or cheap SOUS VIDE BEEF BRISKET with Roasted Pepper & Pine Nuts Romesco Sauce delicious too.

Sous Vide Matsusaka Beef

Sous-vide is the French term for “under vacuum”, a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times for up to 96 hours, in some cases; at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 50°C (131 °F) to 60 °C (140°F) for meats and higher for vegetables.

Porcini Mushrooms Medley Crusted Wagyu Beef with Mushrooms Butter

The sous vide Matsusaka beef marinated with porcini and other gourmet mushrooms powder. The dried mushrooms powder is a mixture of dried porcini, morel, kulat pelawan and shiitake mushrooms that thinly sliced and then toasted with low heat until a little bit browned and crisp. The toasted dried mushrooms medley then processed with blender until become a fine powder.  You can use any of your favourite mushrooms for the mushrooms powder medley.

Dried Porcini Mushrooms

This is dried Porcini mushrooms (Boletus edulis), also called cepes, penny bun, porcino, or king bolete. Porcini is gourmet mushrooms and prized for its flavour and aromas and high regard in many cuisines, and is commonly prepared and eaten in Porcini Mushrooms Risotto, as a crust seasoning for meat like my Porcini Mushrooms Crusted Pan Seared Lamb Chop or as a stuffing for my Porcini Mushrooms Stuffed Chicken Ballontine

Dried Pelawan Mushrooms, Bangka Island Endemic Chanterelle Mushrooms

This is Jamur  Pelawan or Pelawan mushrooms, Bangka Island endemic wild mushrooms that symbiotically grown under Pelawan Tree (Tristaniopsis merguensis).  Fresh  jamur pelawan got a burgundy color and it’s turn out reddish-brown once it dried and aged. Kulat pelawan hand-picked one by one in the pelawan tree forest and carefully covered with some cloth and then exposed with heat or sun ray until the mushrooms dried, it’s prized for its earthy, smokey and woodsy flavour, even a professional French Chef in Jakarta Thought Kulat Pelawan is Genuine French Wild Chanterelle Mushrooms in a Blind Tasting Test.

Porcini Mushrooms Infused Butter

The porcini mushrooms infused butter for serving my sous vide Matsusaka beef steak is pretty simple to made.I mixed powder of toasted porcini mushrooms and the remaining mushrooms powder mixture for the beef marinade with  softened butter. All the ingredients must be chilled before mixed, then after the butter and mushrooms powder mixed well i put it in a cling wrapping plastic and then rolled it to assemble a cylindrical log. Wrapping the mushrooms butter once more with aluminium foil made it chilled even better in the fridge. The porcini mushrooms infused butter log then cut into a thick coin and place over the hot seared Matsusaka beef steak, melt a little bit and there you go to enjoy it.This mushrooms butter using clarified butter that really had a lower temperature melting point compare with the regular butter, so easy to melt as you see in the photograph, hence  i need to keep it chilled before serving instead it’s spreadable rather than palatable. You can use regular butter for a better presentation, it’s hold it’s form and pretty easier to photograph as well.

Sous Vide Matsusaka Wagyu Beef with Mushrooms Crust, Served with Porcini Mushrooms Infused Butter

Melting Porcini Mushrooms Infused Butter Over Matsusaka Beef Sous Vide Steak

The Matsusaka beef marinated in porcini mushrooms mixture actually cooked in sort of sous vide because i using rice cooker as the heater to my water-bath, so no fancy equipments; sousvide water bath circulator and vacuum sealed pack machines involved.  Instead, this sort of sousvide method using amateur kitchen tools, ever since  i take care all the basic principles of sousvide on this recipe.Since this is Matsusaka beef is cooked in sort of-sousvide, the beef sirloin is vacuum packed with ziplock manually without any vacuum machine by simply submerged the ziplock package under water partially to pushed away the air. The ziplock package silicone seal then zipped once the air removed from the bag. This ziplock bag submerging method is quite efficient to pushed away the air from the bag. Choose the heat-proof and food grade ziplock bag with a good sealing feature, cheap ziplock bag may burst out while cooking and ruined your entire Matsusaka beef batch.

Sous Vide Beef Steak with Rice Cooker Waterbath

As you can see from the photograph, my water bath temperature was 60°C , but it’s actually fluctuated from 60 to 61°C if i  put the lid partially on. I adjust the temperature of the rice cooker water bath with covering the metal pot, the more you cover hence the temperature will get closer to the maximum temperature when you put the lid on completely. I let the Matsusaka beef sit in the rice cooker water bath for about 1 hours, don’t get hesitate to leave it longer in the water bath because it’s not a single chance your beef will overcooked, but definitely no further than 2 hours or it turn into mushy because the fat is totally rendered.  The heat source of my rice cooker is on the bottom of the metal pot, so the temperature in the bottom and the surface of the the water bath is different with about 0.5°C range, so it’s necessary to flip it every 20-30 minutes to made the Matsusaka beef evenly cooked. Do not forget to submerged the vacuum packed beef sirloin completely on the water bath during the sous vide cooking, i’m putting some glass plate for that purpose.

Sous Vide Matsusaka Beef with Gravy

Right after i sous vide the porcini mushrooms powder marinated matsusaka beef for 1 hour in 60°C rice cooker water bath, i take it out of the ziplock bag, then drained the precious Matsusaka beef little bit. The gravy or natural juice from the sous vide bag is separated. The gravy from the sous vide bag then  reduced it a little and served the with the beef steak. I also added the reduced gravy into the Porcini mushrooms infused butter to give extra beefy flavour into it.

Mushrooms Powder Dusted Sous VIde Matsusaka Beef

While the gravy from the sous vide Matsusaka wagyu beef ziplock bag reduced, i dust the precious beef with extra gourmet mushrooms powder to make a nice mushrooms crusted on it once it properly seared. Make sure you dusted the mushroom powder evenly to make a nice and even mushrooms crust on it.

Nice Gourmet Mushrooms Crust with Juicy Sous Vide Matsusaka Beef

I drizzle some olive oil and give a gentle massage on the mushrooms crust and then seared it with blowtorch until the outside layer of mushrooms crust on the beef steak is slightly charred and browned all over. The seared mushrooms crusted Matsusaka ribeye beef steak is beautifully pink and very juicy ever since sous vide method is slow cooking process which the best way to retain the moisture within the steak. Almost none of the moisture loss during the sous vide method, there’s only earthy mushrooms and beef flavour exchanged inside the vacuum packed ziplock bag.

Damn Delicious Daging Se’i or Hot Smoked Cured Meat from East Nusa Tenggara

For hot smoking you need to inisiate the fire first and let the block of dry wood turned into charcoal first. Never let the fire had any contack with the meat you want to hot smoked, so i keep enough distance beetween the meat with the firing wood. Once the wood turend into red charcoal, you can put it in the smoking chamber or a simple grill  like me.  Put the meat in a metal net with at least 15 inches from the charcoal, you want the smoke that cooked the meat, not the direct heat from the charcoal.

Starting the Charcoal by Firing the Wood Block Away from The Meat, DO NOT LET THE DIRECT HEAT from CHARCOAL CONTACT the Meat

Once your charcoal is ready, now let’s begin  to make the smoke, shall we ? The smoke can be initiate by putting some dry wood chips that priorly soaked in water for about 10 minutes to enchanced the smoke formation. The other method is using fresh green leaves, you can lay the green leaves over the charcoal and let the magic happen.

Within this temperature range, foods are fully cooked, moist, and flavorful, if you let the temperature raised more than 185 °F (85 °C), the meat will shrink excessively, buckle or even burned.
