GOOD MORNING MALAYSIA - INDONESIA BREAKFAST MENU - LONTONG SAYUR LODEH

Good Morning Malaysia, today we gonna have Indonesia breakfast called Lontong Sayur Lodeh. Lontong is an Asian dish made of compressed rice that is then cut into small cakes. This dish orinates from Indonesia but also popular in Malaysia. The dish is usually served with vegetables cooked in coconut milk,

Lontong is traditionally made by boiling the rice until it is partially cooked and packing it tightly into a rolled-up banana leaf. The leaf is secured and cooked in boiling water for about 90 minutes. Once the compacted rice has cooled, it can be cut up into bite-sized pieces.

Those days it was tedious to make lontong, it tooks hours to cook the rice. For this breakfast menu I used the instant Nasi Impit packet. Boiled it over an hour.

I learned to make this lontong from my maid. We used to have our lontong with Sambal Ikan Bilis, but ever since my maid taught us how to cook and eat lontong the Indonesian way, I stop preparing Sambal Tumis instead I did sambal tempe and serunding kelapa. Fantastic. The Indonesia used green jack fruits in their lontong, I skipped this since my children don't fancy jack fruits. This yellow coconut gravy ate with lontong is called Sayur Lodeh. It's full of vegetables, you can use any vegetales but the most popular veggies are cabbage, brinjals, carrot and jicama. Here goes my LONTONG SAYUR LODEH

 NASI IMPIT/LONTONG

Lontong/ Nasi Impit

I used the instant Nasi Impit packet. To cook this follow the instruction  from the packaging. Leave it to cool for at least 6-8 hours to ensure that you have a nice cut. The best is you cook it at night if you plan to have it for breakfast.

Salam semua semoga pagi Sabtu ini menceriakan anda. Hari ini cuti biasala kalau cuti tu boleh buat brekfast special sedikit. nu pagi Sabtu ni ialah Lontong Sayur Lodeh. Untuk resipi ini saya buat serunding kelapa dan juga sambal tempeh. Dirumah kalau saya masak sayur lodeh ni biasanya tempeh saya asingkan, saya tidak masukkan dalam kuah lodeh. Ini saya belajar dari pembantu rumah saya. Katanya untuk memastikan tempe kekal ranggup, tempe dibuat sambal dan digoreng asing. Sambal tempeh ini pun saya buat peda, banyakkan hirisan cili padi. sambal ini sudah boleh menggantikan Sambal Tumis. Saya juga masukkan sotong rendam dalam kuah lodeh untuk mendapatkan kemanisannya. Memang sedap. Cuba la.

SELAMAT BERHUJUNG MINGGU
