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)

Variasi Pempek modern :

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.

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.

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).

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

Any IDEAS using SUNPRIDE Honi Pinneaple ?

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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

Hot Smoked Mackerel Pike Fish (Sanma or Pacific Saury Fish) with Japanese Sansho Peppercorn

Hot Smoked Mackerel Pike with Sansho Peppercorn Seasoning.Very fresh mackerel pike fish or sanma or pacific saury fish butterflied from the belly side, cured with Japanese sansho pepper then hot smoked grill using indirect smoke heat from charcoal grill. Simple method bring a cheap fish into the next level of taste.

Mackerel Pike or Sanma (Pacific Saury) is a poor man’s salmon fish, simply because it’s delicious, loaded with nutritional value and also cheap. One serving of mackerel pike or sanma (100 gr) cooked in dry heat cooking like  grilled or baked contains 1400 mg DHA, while in the same amount (100 gr) of grilled farmed atlantic salmon contains about 1500 mg DHA, So the  nutritional amino acid od sanma fish is slighly lower than salmon fish, what a great deal!!! Sanma fish is the best option for baby food for brain and nerve tissues development. Sanma fish  it’s much more cheaper than regular salmon while the DHA is slighly lower than the salmon. Sanma fish is a very good choice for feeding the adolesences and toddlers.

Making hot smoked mackerel pike fish is begin with the selection of the fish first; make sure  you choose the the fresh fish as possible. Check the fish is smells fresh, the gills is still dark red, the eyes is clear and the meat texture is bouchy (bounch back when you gently pressed it with fingers), if one of this criteria jeopredized, throw it away because it’s not good for you. Any kind of fish suitable for this hot smoking recipe, so be experimental about it and feel free using your local fish product.

Mackerel Pike is quite bony fish, so i guess it’s better be deboned before hot smoked. To filet or remove any bones from the mackerel fish, first you made insicion in the middle of the belly, remove the innard. Carefully cut the mackerel back bone from the middle of the viscera, as close as possible to the bone to save the meat then cut away the backbone and left the tail behind for presentation. You can see the instruction how to butterfly the roundfish from the belly side

The ribs bone and some of the tiny bones in the middle of the mackerel pike fish filet can be removed with plier. I like my smoked mackerel fish fillet attached with it’s tail and head because hot smoking made it crisp and delicious. Do not throw away the backbone because you can seasoned it then Deep Fried Fish Back Bone and have your extra little snack.

I love smokey flavour, one of the comforting zone for me. Smoked mackerel is one of the oldest way to preserved extra harvest in the season. A number of wood smoke compounds act as preservatives. Phenol and other phenolic compounds in wood smoke are both antioxidants alongside other formaldehyde, acetic acid, and other organic acids,, which slow rancidification of animal fats, and antimicrobials, which slow bacterial growth.

Making hot smoked fish is easy, after you clean and debones the fish fillet, seasonen and cured then dry the surface, now  you need to inisiate the fire first and let the block of dry wood turned into charcoal first.  Never let the fire had any contact with the meat you want to hot smoked, not grilled or barbequed the fish so you should keep enough distance beetween the fish fillet with the firing wood.

You want to hot smoked fish, so keep the distance beetween the fire and smoking agent to the metal rack for hanging the mackerel fish. Once the wood turend into red charcoal, you can put it in the smoking chamber or a simple grill  like me.  Put the mackerel fish fillet in a metal net with at least 25 inches from the charcoal, you want the smoke that cooked the mackerel fish, not the direct heat from the charcoal.

Now we smoking the mackerel fish fillet, once your charcoal is ready and nicely firing out, now let’s begin  to make the smoke, shall we ??? After the charcoal is firing out, you need to put smoke agent like soaked wood chips over the charcoal to let the smoke start generated. The other method to generate smoke is using fresh green leaves by laying it over the charcoal and let the smoke coming by to cooked the mackerel fish.

Hot smoking fish process is between 165 and 185 Fahrenheit (73-85C) and this temperature is definitely cooked the fish. Hot smoking exposes the foods to smoke and heat in a controlled environment. Although mackerel fish that have been hot smoked are often reheated or cooked, they are typically safe to eat without further cooking. Within this temperature range, fish are fully cooked, moist, and flavorful, if you let the temperature raised more than 185 °F (85 °C), the smoked fish will shrink excessively, buckle or even burned.

 Hot Smoked Mackerel Pike Fish (Sanma) Recipe:

• 2 large Mackerel Pike Fish, Sanma or Pacific Saury Fish, gutted, cleaned, patted dry, set aside
  
• Curing for Mackerel Pike Fish : salt, sugar, white pepper & sansho peppercorn powder
• wood block, for making charcoal (you can use charcoal )
• woodchips, soaked in water for 10 minutes for generate the smoke

How to Make Hot Smoked Mackerel Pike Fish (Sanma):

• Cut open the sanma fish stomach and take out the guts

• Wash the sanma fish under a cold  running water, rub  and clean the reddish black part in the center of the cavity  below the back bone
• Butterfly the fish from the belly and revove the pin bones with clean tweezer or pliers, you can see the instruction how to butterfly the roundfish from the belly side
• Pat dry the excess moisture using kitchen paper
• Mix the mackerel pike fish fillet with the curing ingredient, let it rest in fridge for at least 12 hours, discard the dripping liquid, patted dry.

• Once the mackerel pike fish is already cured, the texture will be firmer and the color turned darker
• Hung or exposed the meat with cured mackerel pike fish fillet, let the it the outside layer form a dry pellicle before hot smoking process
• Meanwhile, fire the wood block or charcoal until ready, put the wire netat least 45 inches above the charcoal, so the direct heat won’t too much contact the mackerel pike fish (you want the heat of the smoke touch the mackerel fillet)
• Scatter the soaked woodchips or sawdust, springkle with a little bit of water if necessary, let the smoke released
• Put the mackerel pike fish fillet above the wire net, do not overloded and kept some space beetween the meat so the heat of the smoke have a greater contact with the fish
• Keep the heat constant, let the smoke generate gently, ass more soaked wooodchips if necessary and cooked the meat until dry and the internal temperature reach 160 F (70 C), it takes above 20-30 minutes for 1 inch thickness mackerel fillet with gentle heat hot smoke

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

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.

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.
