Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!


To all wonderful mothers and mothers-to-be out there.
We have been working hard since day one so I guess we all deserve to have a little break to celebrate this warm, wonderful feeling of being a mom or thanking your mom for everything she has done to us.

I know this is a bit late but I still feel like sharing what my kids have given me in this very special ocassion.

For me, mother's day this year is a bit tricky.
I had to travel to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for work.
7.30 AM flight with lay over, surely it was tiring.
But, what bothered me most was that because I had to leave New York City right on mother's day. 

Surely Bo et Obi protested but I couldn't do much as the trip has been arranged by the UN.

Nevertheless, we managed to have a pre-celebration of Mother's day and here's what my kids gave me :)

my smiley girl :0

Can't wait to see it blooms

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day :)

Sambal Goreng Tempe dan Kentang - Spicy Crispy Fried Tempe and Potato

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers and mothers-to-be out there! 

Allow me to take this wonderful opportunity to share one of our favorite Indonesian food recipes, that my husband cooked for me and the kids on mother's day!
Lucky me :).

So, without further a do, enjoy Sambal Goreng Tempe dan Kentang - Spicy Crispy Fried Tempe and Potato.
Bon appetit! 

***

Such a long title I have here!

Hello again.. 

It's been quite sometimes since the last time I share the Frakarsas' favorite recipes here in My Purple World.

As always, I am more than happy to share all yummy Indonesian recipes that I cook in my Astoria kitchen.

So, are you ready for another yummy Indonesian food?

This week I have another favorite dish of my family, sambal goreng tempe dan kentang or spicy crispy fried tempe and potatoes. I know it's a long name but we just simply don't have the translation for that in English.

To those who have seen or tried some of my recipes here in my blog might be familiar with tempe or soybean cake already.

There are many ways to cook tempe and I love this sambel goreng because besides its delicious taste, I can also cook them in bulk and save them. The preparation might take some times but once you have everything ready, cooking it only takes 5 minutes.

Afterwards, I only need a bowl of steamed rice or a plate of fresh salad and veggies to eat them. 

Let's cook then :).

Ingredients

Tempe - cut into small, thin stick
Potatoes - cut into small, thin stick

Shallot - thinly sliced

Jãlapeño- thinly sliced, if you like it hot.

Spices to ground:

Onion - half and chopped

Shallots - chopped Chilies - 3-4, or less as desired

Tamarind - 3-4 pieces

Palm sugar - 1 piece

Salt and pepper - as desired

Galangal - 1 piece, pressed
How to cook:

First, we deep fry tempe and potatoes then set them aside.

Then sauté the thinly sliced shallots and jãlapeño, put the ground spice all together. Cook it for a while and mix the deep fried tempe and potatoes and that's it. Yup.. That's it. You have your spicy deep fried tempe and potatoes, sambal goreng tempe dan kentang,  ready :).

easy steps to cook it..

Eat it with your hot steamed white or brown rice, or sprinkle it over your salad plate. 
Hope you like it and enjoooy..
