Cooking Class - Sate Padang

Setelah libur beberapa minggu, akhirnya cooking class diadakan lagi. Setelah tertunda lama, keinginan masak sate padang pun terpenuhi. Rencananya bener-bener dadakan deh. Cooking class hari senin, hari minggu pagi sebelumnya belum ada kepastian apa-apa. Tapi ya dasar emang udah niat, akhirnya jalan juga tuh acara. Walau tanpa lidah sapi (yang mahalnya aduhai) dan usus sapi (yang entah beli dimana, di geylang atau tekka ada kali ya), terkumpullah 4kg daging untuk dibuat sate padang. Tempat CC (teuteup) di rumah Nisi, dengan peserta saya sendiri, Mba Ita, Keka, Irma, Mba Astri, Mba Imel, Ika, dan Mba Eva (yang terakhir ini sih nitip dagingnya doang untuk dibikin sate padang, soalnya belio ada janji sama si 'ica' sih)
Begini kira-kira suasananya.
Note: Fotonya kurang banyak, abis yang jadi tukang foto lagi bertugas sebagai instruktur CC. Dan... seperti biasa... foto saya tetap gak ada... harus nunggu kiriman dari tukang foto lain yang sama-sama meliput acara tersebut nih.
Resep bisa dilihat disini.

Karena banyaknya daging yang ikut serta, sampe-sampe tidak cukup hanya satu panci... butuh tiga panci untuk menyelesaikan 4kg daging.



Eits, apa jadinya sate padang tanpa ketupat kan? Yah, tak ada ketupat, lontong pun jadi lah...


Akhirnya tibalah saat yang dinanti-nantikan... nusukin daging ke tusuk sate. Kenapa ditunggu-tunggu? Ya karena itu artinya daging sudah empuk dan sate selangkah lagi menuju 'jadi'. Tenang, ibu-ibu itu udah pada cuci tangan dulu kok... hihihi


Tadaaaa... Sate Padang!


Yang ini gak usah dikomentarin deh.

[Recipe] Sate Padang

Sate Padang is a Padang style Satay, from west Sumatra province. This Padang style satay is quite famous in Indonesia. It tastes really hot, and is served with 'ketupat'. The satay is usually consist of beef meat, tongue, and sometimes some beef intestines. But since i don't quite like the tongue and intestines, i make the satay of only the meat.

For 1kg of meat 2 thumb size galangal 2 thumb size ginger 3 thumb size turmeric 6 red chili (ground to become paste) 8 shallots 4 garlics 2tsp ground corriander 1/4tsp cummin seed 1-2tsp white pepper 1tsp salt 1 turmeric leaf 6 lime leaf 1 lemon grass Rice flour Water Cooking oil 50 bamboo skewers Fried shallots

Instruction

1. Ground galangar, ginger, turmeric, chili, shallots, garlics, corriander, cummin seed, salt and pepper to become the spice paste.
2. Prepare the meat, cut into cubes of size about 1.5x1.5x1.5cm. Pour some water to cover all the meat in a pan, bring to boil. Remove the dark-coloured froth (foam, which is actually the blood contained in the meat).
3. Drain the meat from its broth. Keep the broth.
4. Preheat about 3tbs of cooking oil in a fry pan. Stir fry the spice paste. Add in the turmeric leaf, lime leaves, and lemon grass. Wait until fragrant.
5. Add in the half-cooked meat cubes, continue to stir fry for about 15 minutes.
6. Pour the broth back into the fry pan. Continue to cook until the meat is tender.
7. Drain the meat, keep the spiced broth. Skew every 3-4 cubes of meat into the bamboo skewer. Grill.
8. Bring the spiced broth to boil. Mix about 2tbs of rice flour with 100ml water. Add it into the spiced broth, continue to stir it until the broth become thick and become a sauce.
9. Served the satay with 'ketupat', spread some fried shallots onto the serving.

About toilet seat

I heard or read somewhere about how a toilet seat can cause problem between married couple. Many consider that this is such a common problem that when you gather a group of wives they will likely have the same opinion upon this matter. And I'm sure that you also have heard about this, or even experienced it first hand.

Most women usually complain about how their spouses not putting the toilet seat down after using it. I'm not sure what they are complaining about. Actually i also experienced this problem in the first couple of months of my being a wife. But, I wasn't sure either why i complain about it. In the end i thought that maybe i'm just too lazy to put the toilet seat down myself before i use it. After all, i never put it back up after using it and my hubby never complains about it. So, why should i complain about him not putting the seat back down? Right?

Sindroma Malas Pangkat Jendral

Kalau udah kena sindroma malas pangkat jendral, begini deh. Kerjaan numpuk, rumah berantakan, blog gak diapdet, mood gak karu-karuan. Yah soal kerjaan numpuk dan rumah berantakan sih masih bisa diatasi sih. Dikit-dikit sambil begini sambil begitu disempetin deh beres-beres. Trus berhubung kemaren si Ika bersama Non Shabira mau kerumah dalam rangka masak Tom Yam, jadilah saya harus bebersih rumah dulu dong. So, perkara rumah berantakan beres juga deh.

Perkara blog gak diapdet... yah, ini sih suka-suka saya sebagai si empunya blog. Mau diapdet ya saya apdet.. kalo nggak ya, harap sabar aja ya para pembaca... (dooh, serasa punya pembaca setia gini deh). Tapi ternyata, walopun males ngapdet, keinginan untuk ngapdet itu tetep ada. Pengen cerita ini.. pengen cerita itu... banyaaaaak banget. Cuman ya males melalui proses ngetiknya itu. Pengennya sih langsung jadi aja... hehehe.

Yang paling sebal tuh kalo mood jadi gak karu-karuan. Bete sendirian deh. Mau nyalahin siapa lagi coba? My Misua...? Kasian amat dia gak tau apa-apa trus kena marah-marah... (maap ya, hon). Tapi beneran deh, udah 3 hari ini mood saya bener-bener gak beres. Kadang lagi seneng-seneng aja, tiba-tiba in a blink on an eye (hiperbola mode: ON) langsung jadi bete (kalo lagi bete trus tiba2 jadi seneng sih gak nolak dong...). Tanya kenapa? Baru inget ooy, udah 3 hari ini daku lagi in my period! Well, that explains, right? Penyebab selanjutnya mungkin karena saya lagi kangen berat sama keluarga di Bandung: ortu dan adik-adik... serta kucing-kucing tercinta. Berat seberat-beratnya deh. Kalo soal ini saya punya diagnosa sendiri apa yang jadi penyebabnya... hehe. B******y Blues! Hahahaha...
(Halah haree geeneeee.... masih mikirin b******y)

Ah sutra lah... hidup udah susah kok dibikin susah. Masih banyak yang hidupnya jauh lebih sulit dari kita. So, lebih baik bersyukur dan jalanin aja.. ya gak?

Just Incredible

To all husbands out there.

The dead watch

'Dry jokes' between me and my hubby...

Me: Honey, my watch's dead. I think it's the battery.
Honey: What? How come? It's only a year or so....
Me: Yeah, it is... i don't know why. Check your watch, is it still working?
Honey: Mine's still working.
Me: Well, maybe in a short time your watch will be dead too... I think mine stops first because i set the time a few minutes earlier than yours.
Honey: ....????!!!!

p.s: why do you keep saying the watch is dead? It cannot be dead, it's never alive!
