Pancake is an ordinary dish in our house since I was a small child. But it is not the pancake the western people eat. Our pancake is a version of our own. We call it 'lempeng'. It is solid and soft. Sometimes it can be crispy, depending on the ingredients used and the method of cooking.  Our 'lempeng' or pancake is soft and a little bit salty. It is because we put margarine and salt in it. Yes margarine is not really healthy but we have been consuming it for decades.  I am not really a fan of plain lempeng pancake. My family eat it with sugar or condensed milk. Sometimes I eat it like that. But sometimes I eat it with curry or kurma. And many times, I add some vegetables in it.  Some of the vegetables I add in the lempeng pancake are Chinese celery, carrots, onions, cabbage, capsicum, chili and potato. This depends on what I have in the kitchen. Sometimes I just add Chinese celery only. Sometimes I add several vegetables in it.  Usually I eat my vegetable lempeng pan...

Recently I am eating cabbage more frequently. It is because I want to improve my health. And cabbage can stay longer in the fridge compared to some other vegetables like spinach and mustard greens. It is easy to prepare too.  However I sometimes don't really like the thicker part of cabbage. Usually I cut it smaller and thinner.  Recently too I frequently saute cabbage with turmeric and anchovy. I love to eat it with white rice and curry, with white rice and chicken in soy sauce, and many more. I think it is suitable to be eaten with rice and curry.  This dish I called sauteed cabbage with turmeric is made with onion, garlic, anchovies or anchovy cube, chili, mustard seeds and of course turmeric. I love the taste. It is inspired by Muslim Indian restaurant menu, but I don't really sure and don't have the recipe of their cabbage dish. So I invented my own sauteed cabbage with turmeric instead.  So lets see the recipe. This recipe is for 2 servings.  Ingredients 1...

Today I decided to make chicken congee for my aunt. It's been a long time since I made her the congee. She likes it a lot.  There are many recipes of chicken congee. But I decided to make the congee based on my aunt's preference. She loves it simple, plain and pure.  She also loves potatoes and carrots in her congee. The flavor is pure based on fresh ingredients used. It is a healthy food, and a fulfilling one.  Chicken congee is also suitable for people with fever. Some will prefer chicken soup. Warm chicken congee can refresh a sick soul.  This recipe is for four servings. It takes more than an hour to make.  Ingredients 3 shallots, minced. You can also use onion.  5 to 7 garlics, crushed and minced.  1 inch ginger, crushed.  100 gram chicken, mixed meat with bone. Cut to small pieces.
