Eating more fuits also stimulate the growth of teeth, jaw and any musculoskeletal tissues and prevent the teeth malposition and/0r third molar (wisdom teeth) impaction because eating less fiber food (soft food) deteriorate the growth the jaw and made the space of alveolar bone is insufficient for the third molar (wisdom teeth) to erupt.

WHY TRUSTING SUNPRIDE FRUITS ???

SUNPRIDE Giving the best from A to the Z to asure you’ve get the best fruit you’ve ever taste!!!

Do you think that the popular smooth and flawless Sunpride Banana is imported fruit ??? SO DO I, Well we all WRONG because Sunpride Banana is locally grown in Lampung, so it’s actually product of Indonesia!!!

How did they create the perfect piece of Sunpride Banana ??? One hell of a perfection and precisious job from selecting the best cavendish banana speciment to grown, growing the banana in the best farm land, handling the fruit carefully by covering each of the banana comb to prevent the banana fruits bruising, protecting from sunlight and any pests, this methods creating a perfect smooth banana skin.

The Sunpride banana harvest period is divided per block, 1 bunches of bananas that had been wrapped the cut, then hung on the rail, to be brought to the packing house, using rail prevent the banana bruised compare to the conventional method transporting the whole banana comb manually that requires staging the banana comb so then the bottom part of the banana supporting the weight the upper part of the banana and got bruised. The bruised banana skin may not effect the banana flesh inside, but it affect the color of the banana skin into dark black.

In the packing house,Sunpride banana cleaned, the paper that used to covering each comb relaced with padding foam. The banana then grading into sevral categories, grade A (7.5 inches lenght) for export (sold as several International brand like Victory Brand in China). The grade B banan sold in Indonesia as Sunpride banana.

SO, If SUNPRIDE take care our banana with PERFECTION, i think there’s no flaws to untrusting any SUNPRIDE fruits!!!

Journey of 7 Days Sunpride Fruit Diary:

My Sunpride  daily fruitarian is always starting with Sunpride Cavendish Banana, raw without any addtitional flavour and a single portion of  apple, pear or other fruits to replace breakfast. I also had brunch with fresh or cooked fruits appetizer as a snack. The luch i had is usually have about a 600 calories portion of carbs, protein and veggies, then ended with fresh or cooked fruit dessert. About 3-4.pm i had a single portion of fresh SUNPRIDE fruits then the dinner i dad got less than 500 calories of carbs, protein and veggies. I never had any dessert for dinner, only simple fresh or cooked SUNPRIDE fruits appetizer.

DAY 1

A. Banana (SUNPRIDE CAVENDISH BANANA)

Sunpride cavendish banana is the most popular products you may known, but Sunpride actually had several varieties of banana; local varieties of bananas and plantain available like Pisang mas, Pisang Tanduk, Pisang Ambon, Pisang Barangan, Pisang Kepok & Pisang Raja Bulu.

Why eating banana is important ???

Bananas are one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world for sure. Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin, the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter. Banana also provide energy punch and sustain your blood sugar, Thats why i always starting a day with eating banana EVERYDAY. Banana protect against muscle cramps during workouts and nighttime leg cramps by eating a banana. .Counteract calcium loss during urination and build strong bones by supplementing with a banana

Sunpride even provide a SINGLE and AVAILABLE banana, which is sold in a minimarket or small store nearby everywhere, even in my clinick there’s three modern mini market and tey all provide a single pack of banana. So if you in a hurry and forgot to consume your banana, you can get is easily then.

Eversince my father diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, i got my wake up call because i got sll the predispotition factor to become a diabetic patient too because i’m 60 pounds overweight of healthy Body Mass Index (BMI). There’s nothing better way to reduce my weight and body fat ratio than excersising and follow a healthy dietary plants. Nowdays i  replace my snacking with fruits. I get more fibers with comsuming fruits to felt stuffed because i can’t skipping meals, so i eating a single banana 3 times a day, in the morning, on the brunch  and after dinner. Mostly plain and withoud any other additional ingredients.

Don’t worry, you can be creative with banana, you can made almost anything with it;either raw or cooked;

A. Raw Sunpride Cavendish Banana

Lovin Sunpride cavendish banana all the way, i used to eat it wat at least twice a day; early morning to starting a day and the night before i go to sleep. In the morning i used to be creative, serving the Sunpride cavendish banana with toasted bread & some choco hazelnut butter. A quiky damn delicious breakfast to starting a day!!!B. Cooked Sunpride Cavendish Banana

This is pisang karamel saus kopi luwak or caramerlized Sunpride cavendish banana with civet coffee caramel sauce. I made the pisang karamel with  selecting the medium ripe Sunpride banana, sliced it horizontally into three parts with the same thickness. I melted some butter and heated it in a non sticky fry pan then seared the banana for about 2 minutes until nice caramelized and gonden brown. I also wrapped some banana with puff pastry and baked it until the pastry nice browned and pluffy.

The pisang karamel or caramelized banana then drizzed with genuine Indonesian civet coffee caramel sauce and creamy vanilla bean fla. I arranged the caramelized banana in a serving plate to made it look fancy and add some dry raisin, dry cranberry, truffled cookies, tpasted almond and some candied mustard flower.

B. PINNEAPLE ( SUNPRIDE HONI PINNEAPLE or Nanas Honi)

Why Eating Pinneaple is Important ?

Many studies have suggested that increasing consumption of  pineapples decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality, diabetes, heart disease and promotes a healthy complexion and hair, increased energy, overall lower weight.  A higher intake of pinneaple has also been shown to decrease risk of and progression of age-related macular degeneration. Also of note, a high potassium intake from pinneaple is associated with a 20% decreased risk of dying from all causes.

Sunpride Honi Pinneaple DO NOT NEED SALT to washed it before eaten because it’s had LOW CALCIUM OXALAT. Calcium oxalate is a byproduct that majorly stored under thescally skin of the pinneaple. Calcium oxalate is low irritant to mucous membrane like mouth and throat. Calcium oxalate content made the common pinneaple need to be netralized and washed with salted water before eaten unless you gonna felt itchy and burned in your mouth and throat.

SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple is taste crisp, sweet, refreshingly a little bit tangy. The size is bigger than common pinneaple. The Honi pinneaple skin is regularly flat so then peeling off the skin is much more easier than common pinneaple. The hard brown spot is not puncturing too deep into the inneaple flesh so no need to remove too much good flesh when you peel SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple.

You felt that skinning pinneaple is quite an effort??? No need to worry no more.  SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple is very easy to cut open and served!!!

How to cut open and served SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple :

Place the pineapple on side down then use a cutting board or other cutting surface, cut the crown and the stem off. Stand the pineapple up on one end, using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the pinneaple in the middle.

Cut the half part SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple in the middle using very sharp knife, do not pushed it to harder uness the fuits will be bruised.

Remove the SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple stalk in the middle, you can use this part to flavouring stock or using the extract juice for tenderizer beef, chicken or any tough meat.

Cut the quarte part SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple in the middle using very sharp knife, do not pushed it to harder uness the fuits will be bruised.

Slice the skin off the sides of SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple , horizontallly cut as thinly as possible. Leave as much flesh as you can remaining on the pineapple; the sweetest part of the pineapple is the most outer flesh

Vertically cut SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple as thinly as possible or closer to the skin without remaining the brown spot attached. Leave as much flesh as you can remaining on the pineapple; the sweetest part of the pineapple is the most outer flesh

VOILA your SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple is ready to be served!!!

You can get the instruction how to open SUNPRIDE HONI Pinneaple in the labels too:

Any IDEAS using SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple ?

Grilled Pinneaple served over grilled haloumi cheese canape.  Greece hard cheese is best for grilling or barbequing, serving it with charred grilled pinneaple is one hell of damn delicious ideas. Salty, briney paired with sweet, caramelized and a little bit tangy SUNPRIDE Honi pinneaple, DAMN DELICIOUS!!

I’m Using blowtorch flames to caramelized the outer layer of the haloumi cheese and the SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple but you can using grill or pan for browning the outer layer. The pinneaple and the haloumi cheese is better be sprayed with avocado oil or olive oil for better caramelizing.

NEver throw the Middle stalk of the SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple, save it for later because you can use it many ways. This is Pindang Ikan Palembnag, a spicy, hot and a little bit sourish broth fish soup from Palembang, South Sumatra. You can use the pinneaple middle stalk to flavouring the spicy fish soup broth.

You can extract the pinneaple juice and using it to marinade, flavouring and also to tenderizing any hard or tough meat. Beef shank need to be soaked about 6 mours prior to cooked and steak cut need less than 30 minutes. Pinneaple contain Bromelain that can breakdown the tough collagen fibers in the meat to made it a tender steak you’ve ever taste.

DAY 2

C. Guava (SUNPRIDE Crystal Guava)

Why Eating Guava is Important ?

Guava is also known as Asian apple.  Guavas are one of the richest sources of vitamin C, containing four times the vitamin C content present in oranges. A single, medium-sized guava offers two times the daily requirement of vitamin C, a vitamin that is closely associated with improved immunity and protecting you against common infections and pathogens.

The health benefits of guava include the treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, constipation, cough, cold, skin care, high blood pressure, weight loss and scurvy.Guava also has white or maroon flesh and lots of small hard seeds enveloped in very soft, sweet pulp. It is eaten raw (ripe or semi-ripe) or in the form of jams and jellies.The role of guavas in immunity is also attributed to its anti-inflammatory action and its ability to inhibit inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins released in autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis so guava is really good for elderly peop

Sunpride Crystal Guava is also sold as Sunfresh brand,  this guava is really honest because it’s really seedless. the flesh is crisp and tender in the same time. thaste very sweet, refreshing and juicy, totally scrumptious!!!

Any Idea using SUNPRIDE Crystal Guava ???

Sunpride provide two varieties of papaya; Hawaian and Californian. they all taste delicious sweet, crisp and juicy Sunpride Californian and Hawaian Papaya along  Cavendish Banana is my staple daily fruit, i really like enjoying papaya raw in the lunch, especially in the hot days.

Why Eating Papaya is Important ?

Papaya is considering the healthiest fruit on earth. Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium, copper, and magnesium; and fiber. Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer.

Gohu, a pickled papaya from manado or Minahasa descent people (North Sulawesi), a briny and spicy pickled young and half ripen papaya similiar to asinan,  acar or another name for pickle in Indonesia or Som Tam from Thailand.

I DAMN LOVIN GOHU, especially on my brunch break in beetween patients in my clinic. The refreshing sweet, crisp Sunpride Californian Papaya that sliced thinly in a briney pickled broth that flavoured with chilies, spices, bakasang (fermented shrimp paste), cakalang fufu (smoked skipjack tuna) and some rice vinegar, DAMN DELICIOUS!!!

In addition, young and unripe papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain; enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies and you can using it as a tenderizer for steaks or any tought meats.

A one-cup serving also provides 5%, or more of the daily value needs for vitamin K, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, magnesium and potassium.

Why Eating Melon is Important ?

Melon contains an abundance of antioxidants including choline, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, all of which provide protection against a range of diseases and conditions from the common cold to cancer. Melons are high in essential vitamins and minerals. They contain almost no fat or saturated fat, making them an excellent choice for snacks or a side dish.

Any Idea using Melon ???

I like using melon as a starter or appetizer, i’m using two kind of melon; the orange color the rock melon and green golden melon or golden melon. I’m using my dendeng danging kambing or dendeng domba (lamb or goat prosciutto) to wrapping the lamb and then secure it with toothpick, voila, your fancy Melon and Prosciutto appetizer done in a secon!!!

SUNPRIDE Rock and Honey melon taste delicious thats for sure, i really love the crisp, tender and bouchy texture when you chew it and the flesh oozing the fresh sweet juice, totally DAMN REFRESHING!!!

Day 5

G. Dragon Fruit

Sunpride dragon fruit is an extremely beautiful fruit that has dazzling flowers and an intense shape and color. The dragon fruit is usually a dark red color, although some types of this fruit are pink or yellow. The skin of the dragon fruit is a thin rind. The skin is usually covered in scales, and the center of the fruit is made up of a red or white, sweet tasting pulp.

Why Eating Dragon Fruit It’s Important ?

Eat dragon fruit as a good natural source of anti-oxidants which help to prevent the dangers of free radicals which can cause cancer and other undesirable health detriments.The number, quantity, and variety of antioxidants in dragon fruit like  phytoalbumins and flavonoids which are highly valued for their antioxidant properties.

Dragon fruit help to lower blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes. Studies also suggest that the the glucose found in Dragon fruit aids in controlling the blood sugar level for diabetes patients. Dragon fruit helps in digestion. Because of the richness in fibers, Dragon fruit aids in the digestion of food, Studies also suggest that Dragon fruit promotes the growth of probiotics.

I like eating SUNPRIDE dragon fruit for it’s taste and texture. Lovin to made some fancy appetizer with dragon fruit. the tiny black seed on dragon fruit made it fancy for presentation. I served my dragon fruit finger food with some cold smoked scallops and gourmet popcorn shoots.

H. Kiwi

SUNPRIDE in collaboration with Zespri Kiwi provided green kiwi and golden yellow kiwi. Golden kiwi got more soft and sweeter flesh compare to the green kiwi, my grandma really lovin it because she cn enjoy it even without her denture,lol

Why Easting Kiwi is Important ?

Kiwi got with more vitamin C than an equivalent amount of orange, the bright green flesh of the kiwifruit speckled with tiny black seeds adds a dramatic tropical flair to any fruit salad. Packed with more vitamin C than an equivalent amount of orange, the bright green flesh of the kiwifruit speckled with tiny black seeds adds a dramatic tropical flair to any fruit salad. Kiwi can protect DNA in the nucleus of human cells from oxygen-related damage. Since kiwi contains a variety of flavonoids and carotenoids that have demonstrated antioxidant activity, these phytonutrients in kiwi may be responsible for this DNA protection.

Enjoying just a couple of kiwifruit each day may significantly lower your risk for blood clots and reduce the amount of fats (triglycerides) in your blood, therefore helping to protect cardiovascular health.My father is a diabetic patients, kiwi is a very diabetic friendly fruits because kiwi is in the ‘low’  glycemic index, meaning it does not raise your blood sugar quickly. It has a glycemic load of 4 which means it is safe for diabetics.

Any Idea using Kiwi ?

I love eating kiwi directly, but i love to have some smoothies too if i got bad mood, lovin to blended golden kiwi with some yogurt and banana then staging it with some choco nutella or hazelnut butter banana smoothies. I add some slices of fresh kiwi and then finish it with some vanilla syrup infused basil seed.

I .Sunpride Apple

Sunpride provide local (Malang apple) and imported apple (Grannysmith etc). Sunpride apple always be packed the best way to ensure the customers got the best quality of apples.

Why Eating Apple is Important ?

Have you heard “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, yes you may but what makes this fruit so special? What health benefits are associated with eating apples?

Eating apple could keep Alzheimer’s away and fight the effects of aging on the brain. Apples are good for neurological health. The fruit contains an antioxidant called “quercetin” which reduces cellular death caused by oxidation and inflammation of neurons. Apples also reduce your blood pressure, prevent galstone, detoxify the liver, boost the immume and also avert the hemorrhoid.

I like to eating apple raw or cooked, mostly on dessert, but if you like apple also contain quercetin  that can be used tp tenderize any tough meatjust like pinneaple or papaya.

Any Idea Using Apples ?

This is apple pie using caramel topping and tenpeh flour crust, I also added shredded julienned gouda cheese over the aplle pie.

DAY 6

J. SUNPRIDE  Pear ( Singo Pear)

Sunpride provide three kind of pear; Golden Pear, Singo Pear and Conference Pear Truval. Lovin the size of the pear, which is big and plumply, The texture is crisp with sweet and refreshing taste. The SUNPRIDE pear aslo packed and secured individually with foam net to prevent it frum bruiosing from transporting before handed to the customers, one of the reason that i told you before to trusting SUNPRIDE fruits.

Why Eating Pear is Important ???

One medium-sized pear contains 5.5 grams of fiber toward your daily goal of 21 to 38 grams. When you eat plenty of fiber, your digestive system works the way it’s supposed to. Fiber helps your body absorb the vitamins and minerals from your food. It also helps prevent and relieve constipation and can keep you from developing painful hemorrhoids as well.

For nutritional reasons, we’re often advised to consume the skins of fruits. However, it’s less often that research provides strong evidence in support of this advice. Recent studies have shown that the skin of pears contains at least three to four times as many phenolic phytonutrients as the flesh. These phytonutrients include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory flavonoids, and potentially anti-cancer phytonutrients like cinnamic acids. The skin of the pear has also been show to contain about half of the pear’s total dietary fiber.

Any Idea Using Pear ?

 

This is Yukhoe or Korean Beef Tartare that served with Raw Julienned Singo Pear. The Beef tenderloin is raw but not that raw because it’s priorly “pausterized” in sous vide method using ziplock bag and rice cooker waterbath in controlled temperature.

This is the same Korean Yukhow or raw beef tenderloin tartare with diced korean singo pear,  gochujang chili sauce, sesame oil, pine nuts, and raw quail egg yolk. The spicy Korean beef tartare also dressed with chopped chili, black sesame seed, crispy garlic, garlic oil, and chives blossom.

This is wine poached Conference Pear Truval that served with Pan Fried Foie Gras or Goose Liver with balsamic vinegar glazed that ethically raised.

Day 7

K. Baby Pacitan Orange (Jeruk Baby)

This is Sunpride Baby Orang(Jeruk Baby) or Pacitan Orang, a local product fron Pacitan, East Java. The orange named after baby orange because Indonesian baby can handle this orang sweet taste.

Why eating orang is Important ???

Eating an orange a day is a good idea got thousand of reason why,  they are low in calories but full of nutrients, orange promote clear, healthy skin and can help to lower our risk for many diseases and conditions as part of an overall healthy and varied diet.An orange has over 170 different phytochemicals and more than 60 flavonoids, many of which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and strong antioxidant effects. One orange provides 130 percent of your vitamin C needs for the day!

Oranges also contain thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, selenium and copper. Because of their high vitamin C content (over twice the daily need) oranges are associated with boosting the immune system. Oranges also contain choline, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids. Choline is an important nutrient found in oranges that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. Choline also helps to maintain the structure of cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists in the absorption of fat and reduces chronic inflammation. Zeaxanthin and carotenoids have antioxidant effects and have been shown to have an inverse relationship with overall cancer rates and prostate cancer in particular.

Any Idea Using Orange???

Lovin to served orange pulp with seafood like seabass, salmon , scallops, lobster, prawn etc. The sweet and tangy refreshing orange can be bursting out like a caviar if you pairing it with savoury dish to create a next level of taste.

Lovin to make an orange sauce for salmon like the picture of my Rolled Salmon Stuffed with Bean Cured.  Beside using the orange in a sauce, you can use it as a marinade because the acid can be tenderized any tough meat too.

L. Grape

Grapes make a great snack and can also be used to make juices, desserts, salads and main dishes. These versatile fruits provide a number of essential nutrients and their phytochemicals may provide the health benefits of potentially lowering your risk for heart disease and cancer, although further research is needed to verify these positive effects, according to the American Cancer Society.

Why Eating Grape is Important ?

Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung, mouth, pharynx, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and colon. The flavonoid quercetin in grape  is a natural anti-inflammatory that appears to reduce the risk of 
atherosclerosis and protect against the damage caused by low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Any Idea Using Grape

Salmon with Saffron Curry, Served in a Bed of Spicy Vegetables Curry

Saffron with Salmon Fillet, hmm Saffron made everything cooked with it more delish and fancy right ? so saffron and salmon isn’t it’s sounds tempting already ?  The saffron curry paste for marinating the salmon fish is similiar with my Indonesian Beef Rendang spice paste, but i replacing the turmeric with saffron thread. Using genuine Spanish saffron for my salmon fillet curry sous vide bring the simple dish to the next level of taste.

Genuine Saffron Saffron for Best Color & Fragrance

Salmon Sous Vide with Georgeous Spanish Saffron Curry Paste

I’m using beer cooler & ziplock bag for my sousvideurried salmon fillet, just like my previously Sous Vide Eel Fillet Recipe and Sous Vide Salmon Fillet Stuffed with Tofu Curd Recipe. Instead of beer cooler, any kind of heat insulating chamber is good to go for sous vide fish fillet; thermos, dewar flask or vacuum flask, as long the chamber is big enought to completely submerging the entire salmon fish fillet and also mantaining the waterbath temperature for extended periods of time.

Sous Vide Salmon Fillet Saffron Curry

Sous-vide is French term for “under vacuum”, a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bathor 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 40°C (104 F) t0 45°C (113 F) for fish,  50°C (131 F) to 60°C (140 F) for meats and higher for vegetables.

Curried Salmon Fillet Sous Vide with Saffron & Spicy Vegetables Curry

Sous vide salmon curry or other fish fillet with beer cooler is a very simple; simply fill up your beer cooler with water just a couple degrees higher than the temperature you’d like to cook your food at (to account for temperature loss when you add cold food to it), seal your food in a plastic ziplock bag, drop it into the beer cooler waterbath, and close your beer cooler until your food is cooked. You can simply adjust the temperature to your preference with hot water after the waterbath temperature drop about (1-2)°C after 20 minutes soaking your salmon fillet, that’s why it’s better you use a good insulating beer cooler. Yup, it is that simple!!!

Salmon Marinated in Saffron Curry & Vegetabled Curry

Salmon Marinated in Safrron Curry with Sayur Lodeh Pedas (Indonesian Vegetables Curry with Chayote, Tofu, Tempeh, Green Bean, Green Papaya, Pumpkin & Chayote Shoots)

The best ingredients for low temperature sous vide salmon is sashimi grade salmon or vaccumed packed and flash frozen salmon fillet because the low temperature waterbath (40-50C) in sous vide method won’t killed all kind bacteria spores or parasit, especially this salmon fillet served in mi cuit or french style half cooked, so i suggest this low temparature salmon sous vide should never be served to immune compromised individuals like baby, elderly or pregnant woman. like i mention before, low temperature cooked salmon need prolonged period of cooking, so it won’t reach the savety zone without compromising the texture into mushy mess.

Barely Cooked Salmon Saffron Curry “mi cuit” or “half cooked” in French

The salmon fish fillet saffron curry cooked in 45°Celcius beer cooler waterbath for 45 to 60 minutes maximum until it mi cuit or French style “half cooked” salmon with succulent, tender and a little bit flaky. Loot at the color of the saffron curry marinated salmon fillet above, it’s moist, orange and barely cooked. The sous vide method retains the salmon fillet vibrant orange color, its briny juices, and produces a soft texture and nothing like tough, dry, greyish, and flaky fish in agressive high heat traditional cooking.

Georgeous Vibrant Yellowish Orange Color of Low Temperature Sous Vide Salmon in Saffron Curry Paste

Never cooked the salmon fillet in sous vide low temperature waterbath more than 60 minutes because it will compromised the salmon texture into mushy and losen it’s succulent texture. The maximum temperature for cooking salmon in sous vide is about 55°C because higher temperature will be contract and expelled the water content within the fish flesh and made the salmon become dry and too flaky.

Crispy & Crackling Pan Fried Salmon Skin

I fried the salmon skin until crispy and crackling. To make a stunning presentation of straight fried crispy salmon skin is easy, first you should have a scalled salmon skin and a non stick fry pan. Heat a little bit avocado oil on non sticky pan than seared the scale side down of the salmon skin, just before the salmon skin wringkled, i put some flat heavy goods (porcelain ramekin, small caseroll, etc) over the salmon skin to press the skin down and prevent it wringkled. Let the salmon skin pan fried slowly until crispy with a very gentle heat. Don’t forget to spray some oil too on the surface of the heavy thing you put over the salmon skin to prevent the skin sticking. Once the salmon skin scales side is crispy, you need to flip it out and finish to crisp up the other side.

Goat prosciutto is considered delicacy for its mild gamey, sweet and yet tender delicious because it’s made from very young or junvenile goat that unless the prosciutto will be tough and rubbery. Prosciutto di capra usually made from about 6 months to 1-year-old goat hind leg weighed about 1 to 1.5 kg and no more than 2 kg each. Goat prosciutto will be hung to air curing for about two to three months untill it lost about 30% its original weight after salt cured. Goat prosciutto can enjoyed  for a long day since it can last for months or even years. Some would love to inoculate a good white mould in the exposed meat to make it last longer.

Goat Prosciutto; Nicely Vivid Red, Well Done Curing Celery Seed & Juice!!!

To maintain the red meat color and prevent spoiling and poisoning from botulism, prosciutto cured with nitrites like salt peter (sendawa) or potassium nitrit. The nitride oxide bonded and reacted with the remaining myoglobin in the flesh and make a red pigmentation. These process get even better when the water is drained out from the flesh. I used to used salt petre to my charcuterie project, but eversince i’m concerning about the health hence I’m using the natural form of nitrate from celery juice & celery salt for making this goat ham prosciutto.

Measure the weight of your beef then calculate the sea salt weight (3 %) and the pink salt weight (0,1%) needed to curing the goat leg prosciutto di capra . If  you using salt petre for making prosciutto  it’s recommended ammount is 500 ppm (part per million) or 500 mg for one kg of meat. Unfortunately, i didn’t know about the correct ammount of nitrate on celery salt and juice for properly cured this prosciutto but judging from the satisfying result i guess my recipe is quite correct.

Violino di Capra or literary translated as violin of goat is the Italian names for goat prosciutto.

Slicing Goat Prosciutto

Slicing a goat prosciutto or violino di capra is quite challenging for me. First you need to sharpen your knive to get a thinner sliced prosciutto. I’m using small boning knives, i sharpen it using automatic knife sharpener and it’s almost as sharp as surgical scalpel knives. If you had the prosciutto holder, use it to secure and fixation it, but if you didn’t have any, use your left hand to hold it tight while  you slicing the prosciutto horizontally. Slice the prosciutto as thin as possible with a gentle and confident movement, well my grandma gladly do this job for me; at least for the photograph session, lol

Thinly Carving the Goat Prosciutto

Now this is How I Make My Goat Prosciutto or Violino di Agnello from scratch!!!

Young Goat Leg from 8 Months Old Goat Leg Weighed About 1 Kg, The Best Ingredients for Making Goat Prosciutto

1. Select the Goat Leg;

Prosciutto di capra usually made from young goat, i personally order 8 months old goat leg weighed about 1 kg for each of it. DO NOT EVER WASHED THE GOAT LEG WITH WATER or it will be had a very strong gamey aromas. Properly trimming the sinew as much as possible is essential to the rich taste and properly cured prosciutto. Clean the goat leg from any debris or remaining fur and trimmed the remaining blood debris or stain. You can pushed the leg a little bit to drain remaining blood then wipe it out with paper towel.

2. Salt Curing the Goat Leg

Young Goat Leg, Celery Seed-Spices-Salt & Celery Juice = Homemade Goat Prosciutto

The spices and herbs used for making the goat prosciutto differ according to the traditions and your personal preferences. For making my homemade prosciutto do capra i’m using a combinations of nutmeg, celery seed, Szechuan peppercorn, fennel seed, cumin, cardamon, sage, tarragon, juniper berries, black pepper, bay leaf, cloves, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. For the salt, i’m using homemade sea salt that i processed with the spices and herbs until fine powder to made it penetrate better to the meat. The natural nitrate preservatives source for making this goat prosciutto is the celery seed and the celery juice that i added into it.

3. Salt-Dry Curing (Plus Cold Smoked) The Goat Leg

Salt Curing Goat Leg with Natural Nitrate

The hind leg or ham of the goat salted and cured with the celery juice, salt and seasoning for about 14 days, depend on your goat leg size. During this time the goat leg ham is sit in the refrigerator and gently pressed to drain all the blood that remains  in the meat and flipped over every day.  After the curing process, the goat leg is carefully washed in running water,  patted dry and hung in a dark, good-ventilated environment.  At this point, you can cold smoked the cured goat leg a little bit to improved the taste and induced the smokey flavour on it before hung it to air cured. The  humidity and temperature of the enviroment is the key success of making a good quality of goat prosciutto. The best environment for making cured meat is cold climate with low humidity. The goat prosciutto  is then left until dry and loosen  30 percent of it’s weight, so make sure you notes the weight of the cured beef before you hung it and calculate the 30 percent loss from the freshly cured goat leg weight. When you lived in a tropical country with high temperature and humidity, don’t worry about it, as long as you can set your refrigerator in “dry mode” you can made your own dry cured meat or prosciutto.

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.

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

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.

Roasted Chicken with Yogurt & Milk Curd with Ricotta Cheese & Herbs

Roasted Chicken with Milk, Yogurt and Ricotta Cheese Custard with Herbs. Whole chicken butterflied then roasted with the skin side up until the skin is slighly browned and the meat is half cooked, laid in a pyrex caserole bowl then poured with a custard made of milk, yogurt and egg yolk, then crushed garlic, ricotta cheese and herbs scattered over the chicken and then baked for 45 minutes until the milk and yogurt curt browned and the chicken is  completely cooked and tender.

The baked chicken in yogurt and milk custard is inspired by Jamie Oliver roasted chicken in milk which is really moist and taste damn delicious and comforting, but there’s a flaws about it. The skin side of the chicken that facing the milk mixture is soggy and there’s a separated curd and gravy once it cooked. So i adjust the recipe a little bit to make a little bit dry curd and add any ingredients that suits my licking.

The milk and yogurt curd mixture for the roasted chicken can be seasoned with any kind of your favourite herbs; rosemarry, thyme, sage, bayl eaves and a dash of cinnamon is  just perfect for my licking, I also like some licorice flavour of dill weed and some star anise, it’s blend perfectly with the tangy creamy yogurt. Fresh herbs for this yogurt and milk custard baked chicken is preferred, but eversince it’s kinda hard to find this western kitchen ingredients, the dry herbs is working well too.

You can improved the yogurt and milk custard by adding some Homemade Fresh Pork Sausages or some Homemade Spicy Chorizo into it, even chopped precoooked veggies to made some real heavy one pot caserole roasted chicken sounds a good idea.

This recipe is awesome, you’ve got all the scrumptious things about roasted chicken; the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and succulent. The skin side of the chicken is exposed with the direct heat from the upper heater element of the oven while the meat side down is always contact the milk and yogurt mixture and allowed the flavour infused.

Ayam Panggang Yogurt dan Susu. Ayam ras utuh, dibelah dua pada bagian dada, dipanggang sampai kulitnya sedikit kecoklatan lalu dicampur dengan campuran yogurt, susu, kuning telur dan bumbu-bumbu. Kaserol ayam ini kemudian dipanggang dalam oven sampai ayam matang sempurna serta custard susu dan yogurt berwarna kecoklatan. Orang palembang bilang Lemak Nian !!!

This is the secret recipe to make a very crispy roasted chicken skin; blowing the skin off the meat, so the fat in between can rendered and make the skin crispy. First, you need to clean and wash throughly the chicken with running water, pat it really dry with paper towel before you inflated the skin. You can use your finger to separate the chicken skin from it’s meat but i had another option with greater result; using air pump!

Crispy chicken skin is made using a simple baloon pump or bicycle pump, insert the tips of the pump into the chicken skin through the neck skin, secure the neck skin to make sure there’s no air coming out and start to inflate the chicken skin with pumping air into it, you can help with massaging the skin to distribute the air and make sure all the skin inlated from the meat flip the chicken over and do the same in the chicken breast section. Yup it is that easy, i’ve try to use this technique for my Roasted Peking Duck and Herb Butter Roasted Chicken, and it’s skin turned out really crispy!!!

Just like my previously Sous Vide Eel Fillet Recipe, i’m using beer cooler for sousvide my salmon villet rollade. Instead of beer cooler, any kind of heat insulating chamber is good to sous vide fish fillet; thermos, dewar flask or vacuum flask, as long the chamber is big enought to completely submerging the entire fish fillet and also to mantaining the temperature for extended periods of time.

Sous vide salmon or other fish with beer cooler is a very simple task; simply fill up your beer cooler with water just a couple degrees higher than the temperature you’d like to cook your food at (to account for temperature loss when you add cold food to it), seal your food in a plastic ziplock bag, drop it in, and close your beer cooler until your food is cooked. You can simply adjust the temperature to your preference with hot water after the waterbath temperature drop about (1-2)°C after 1 hour soaking your salmon fillet, that’s why it’s better you use a good insulating beer cooler. Yup, it is that simple!!!

The salmon stuffed with spicy tofu skin or bean curd which cooked with kecap manis or Indonesian sweet soy sauce. Tofu skin, yuba, bean curd skin, bean curd sheet, or bean curd robes are films collected During the boiling of soy milk in an open shallow pan while in the process or making tofu, the film and dried into yellowish sheets known as tofu skin. The tofu skin soaked overnight in a fridge just before cooking, then slowly braised with sauteed garlic, shallots, oyster sauce, soy sauce  and kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce).

The black rice salad consist pluffy and tender cooked black rice, blanched chayote shoots, orange pulp, sous vide baby carrot, pickled silver skin onion, blanched winged beans, beansprout and edible black mustard blossom. You can put anything you want on your black rice, the more color the veggies the better. I recommend any kind of root vegetables like parnisp, beet root,cherry belle radish, daikon radish, it’s blended well with black rice salad.

The black rice salad for serving the sous vide salmon rollade  tender cooked black rice in a room temperature, served along pickled silver skin onion that gives an extra tangy n spicy flavour. The lettuce gives an extra crisp to enlighten the salad texture. Pulp of Navel orange gives a bursting sweet citrusy flavour once it pop out in the mouth, to let the black rice didn’t too starchy. The dressing for my black rice salad is very simple, a classic asian style dressing consist of soy sauce, avocado oil and aged rice vinegar.

The Orange-Lemon sauce for the salmon sous vide is pretty basic. I like the orange and lemon balance and the flavour didn’t overpowering each other. My favourite ratio is two part orange and one part lemon, so every two cups of orange juice you need only one cup of leon juice, but for the zest i like to add 1:1.

Making the lemon orange sauce for salmon sous vide is easy. First you need to melt butter in a skillet then add chopped garlic and onion. Saute the onion until translucent  but not browned, add a tablespoon of all purpose flour to make some roux and saute until the flour is not smells raw without browned it in a very low flame for about 2 minutes, then 2 cups of orange juice and one cup of lemon juice added, stirred it well to prevent any lump on it.The orange-lemon sauce then seasoned with salt pepper, and sugar (you can use honey instead) and reduced a little bit then once it cooked, add the orange and lemon zest. You can served the orange  lemon sauce directly or you can sieved it first.
