Last time I made SIOMAY and now I tried making BATAGOR, it's almost the same but it's fried and the main ingredients are tofu & fish only.
The use of Tapioca flour is a bit more than in SIOMAY so that's why the texture here is hmm kenyal what is in English >_< chewy perhaps is the right word, but they are still tender.
Thanks again Diah Didi's. I follow her from now on then. ^^
Let me tell you briefly what I used here.
For the Fish ball batter
-2 tilapia fillet *that's what I had in the freezer* got too much making siomay before*
-3 cloves of garlic, sliced and fried
-1 tsp salt
-1 egg white
-2 green onion, sliced
-200gr tapioca starch *I used 5tbsp*
-50ml water
Grind them all in FoodPr
ocessor
-Half pack firm tofu.
*cut into another half and cut again into triangle. Soaked them in a turmeric water and salt for about 15min. *I want my tofu has bit taste, so it's optional* Dig carefully to make a hole but don't break it, put aside.
Meanwhile,prepare the pan with vegetable oil to fry.
After all ingredients were smooth, except tofu, Spoon the batter into balls * I used two tsp, couple of movement between 2tsp into shape of ball and right away fried. Stuffed the tofu carefully with the fish batter and then fried. Flip tofu n fish balls till all Golden brown. Fried them In low heat, so that the inside are done.
Peanut dressing sauce
I forget the measurement but I used Half pack of dried raw peanut. Fried them and blend into puree with garlic, sweet soy, 1 tbsp sambal oelek, water. Bring to taste with salt / sugar. The texture of sauce is not too thick but not too thin.
Serving it by slicing them into several pieces and pour the peanut sauce, sweet soy, chili hot sauce/sriracha. If you have Lime(small size asian style) drop some lime juice on it. Yumm n smells good.
This pic was my portion ^^ so full.
Happy I have one kitchenaid attachment now!Thanks hon! More to come lol.
Here is the result of my pasta press. It's one of fav kitchenaid attachment.
But I used Pasta press for making healthy noodle here.
Browsing the recipe is not that simple. Esp to match with this machine. I really need dough that's firm enough. Once I tried the sticky result dough, oh boy so hard to split it when it's ready to come out from the machine.
I found dapur kecil ibu blog and tried her recipe. Still not satisfied yet but not that bad. Eventho when it's cooked I broke noodles into several pieces. >_<

| Beets pure |
 |
| Love the way it works |
I was not that patient making the beets puree. I boiled the beets but then I steamed it. I should have waited longer to make it softer. Lesson learned. Second batch I did really make good pure of beets.
It's fun making pasta/noodle with kitchenaid attachment. Just need patient and practice.

| Not sticky but fragile |
I still wanna browse more recipes with another flavor. Next maybe spinach.
Now talking about Mie Ayam Bakso. A famous Indonesian food that people won't get bored with it.
Very easy to make. I didn't use measurement sorry. I get used to in the kitchen.
Just prepare ;
-Boneless breast chicken. Boiled,shredded. Use the broth for later.
-Mushroom in a can.
-Meatballs (homemade or ready to use)
-Some steamed veggies such as baby bok choy, ( I used beets leaves by the way here ).
- 1 cup water/stock from the boiling chicken.
Seasoning in garlic, soy sauce, mandarin sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, sweet soy sauce.
Additional sauce for serving it ;
-chopped/sliced garlic, sauted 5min in olive oil and added soy sauce.
-sriracha/hot chili for more hot just chopped green chili pepper.
Yummy!
It's been a while I had no Siomay. I guess I made this since couple days ago I had Dimsum with friends in South side area. Not bad tho but quite expensive.
Siomay is a kind of DIMSUM too. Steamed seafood. This is the second time I think I made this and quite satisfied with this recipe, thanks Diah Didi's.
I didn't buy cabbages last nite when we went to Publix to buy some groceries. I bought fresh beets tho. They are expensive hubby said. I wanna try homemade noodle later with beets color flavor that's why I asked him to buy.
I had no idea with the leaves but trust my feeling for using it as a wrapper of my siomay.. Yup that's good.
Siomay aka Indonesian DIMSUM has certain looks. Some are wrapped, stuffed. The common siomay wrappers and stuffed are in tofu, cabbages, Bitter gourd, Potatoes. Since I only wanna test the dough of tender siomay so that I didn't think of potatoes tho I had. >_< I completely forgot it.
Let me tell you brief ingredients of mine here.
4 Tilapia, Fillet
half chicken breast Boneless skinless
4 cloves of garlic
2 egg whites
100gr tapioca starch
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 Chayote squash,peeled, steamed and make into puree.
Additional stuffing
half firm tofu (cut again into 4 triangles and dig for space filler in)
1 hard boiled egg
couple of beet leaves (subs of cabbages)
I used food processor to make the chicken and tilapia into puree and then mixed all ingredients together into thick batter.
Prepare steamer and steam each for about 5-10min.
Served with peanut dressing, sweet soy sauce, and sriracha. Yummy!
For peanut dressing I used the mixed of peanut butter and sambal kacang, some garlic chilies, and bring to taste with salt and sugar.
Second attempt making it.>_< Still not having the layer on skin. Hmm I guess I did too much rolling? or too little second layer.. Well the taste is yummy tho.
Wait a minute I just browsed different recipe bakpia from the same web..
Maybe I might try it next time for the third time lol hope it works. Should practice how to roll the dough so that I could get layers skin.
Got no Kale and spinach in the fridge doesn't stop me making smoothie! I actually just wanted to make mixed fruits smoothie but then I opened veggie drawer in the fridge and saw pretty carrot begging to be cooked lol.
I only made one big glass for my self. The ingredients are 1 cup OJ, 1 big carrot, 3-4tbsp frozen mixed fruits
(papaya,mango,pineapple, strawberry)and Over ripe banana. Additional 1 tbsp flax seeds and some drops of lemon.
My fav dish! So yummy! It's called Otak-Otak. Grilled fish cake wrapped in banana leaves and served with peanut sauce dressing.
I mixed fish and shrimps let's say 80-20. Since I don't know special fish that we used in Indonesia. Yup this is another traditional snack I love. Indeed expensive for this small dish tho in food vendor. Here's the link of recipe I used Otak-Otak Bangka
I take order for this delicious dish. Only for Jax area. It contains coconut milk that is delicate so I don't dare send it via post mail.
Gemblong.. hmm sweet sticky rice cake made of glutinous rice flour mixed with dried coconut flakes in a coconut milk with lil bit salt. Then shaped it into oval and then deep fried. Glazed it with dark brown sugar. That's a brief explanation of this dessert. >_<
It's traditional Indonesian snack when I was still kid. I guess some stores still sell this back in my country.
Some recipes used glutinous rice flour (white) only. I wanna make it like in Indonesia which is sweet black rice. I mixed half of white and black here. I browsed this link gemblong since it's small amount.
I wanna try it first before I offer it to my friends.
In my opinion It's good, yummy. Well I ate it when it's still lil bit warm. I hope it's not too chewy when it's cold. Let's see. *After several hours I ate it and it was chewy, not recommended for you who wear braces lol*. That's how it should be tho. And still yummy too.
I wanna test it sit on the kitchen counter for 3 days to see how it looks. Before having it delivered to my friends in another state.
You know when the food contains of coconut milk, it won't last long unless you store it in the fridge.
Okay, will be back after 3 days for the update!
I'm back after 3days! Hmm the gemblong in ziplock bag is hard as a rock >_< and the sugar melted lil. I ate it by heating it up in a microwave for about few second. It's still good, for the taste.
