Hi Friends!
I am still at my youngest’s school parking lot at the moment, and will be heading to the gas station soon, but thought I’d open the notepad and type you for a bit 😊
Cloudy, wet morning, makes me feel blue. Meh!
Yesterday I planned to go to a colleague’s wake, but I couldn’t make it. I had the worst headache and the pain killer I took wasn’t working even after an H long waiting. My colleague loved to dance, in her Cowboy boots, hat, outfit, I think I should say Cowgirl instead Cowboy, so we were informed to get ready to dance at the wake. I knew if I ended up going, with the feeling of my eyes about to popout, I would most likely make situation with my head worsen 😫 So I stayed home. Sorry Cleo, RIP lady ❤️
Needless to say, only around 8PM ish I felt kinda better and could fall asleep before 9. My headache lasted from noonish to 8ish! YIKES!!!! Damn allergies!
Ugh enough rambling. I gotta drive home soon 🤣 Here is Rawon, Indonesian black broth beef soup. My favorite 😍
5 black nut (Kluwak) – no subs
1/2 c hot boiling water
5 kafir lime leaves
2 lemongrass
1.1 kg beef cubes
Enough water to cover beef and slightly a little more
1 small onion
5 candlenut (no subs)
5 garlic
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp olive oil
2 Beef bouillon cubes + chicken bouillon powder if needed
In a bowl, soak black nuts in hot boiling water, for 5-10 minutes, then rub between fingers, mixing the nuts into dark liquid.
Into a pot, add lemongrass, kafir line leaves, beef cubes and enough water to cover it. Bring to boil, scoop out scums.
Meanwhile, make paste out of onion, candlenuts, garlic, and water. Dump mixture onto a pan, saute in olive oil, along with turmeric powder and ground coriander, until fragrant.
Once beef boiling and scums scooped out, stir in sauted turmeric mixture, stir to combine. Pour in black nut water, stir to combine.
Season with beef cubes and chicken bouillon powder. Cook until beef tender.
Serve soup with rice, accompanied with boiled less, fried onion, bean sprouts, and hot sauce if you like.
Enjoy 😍
