I am not an expert in cooking but my tongue always knows which food has a high taste. It seems like everyone has that ability, LOL. I like to eat and it is very excessive, sometimes I can even wake up at night because of extreme hunger. Opening the refrigerator at night is sometimes the thing I like the most and then go back to sleep.
In an era where everything is made easy, ultra-processed food that pampers people who have money, it feels too evil if we consume it every day on our bodies. Gradually the body will lack nutrition and finally what happens is a damaged body because it is not maintained properly. The body should eat good food.
The need for good food is sometimes not in sync with the time needed to prepare food because of the busy schedule. That is what makes UPF something that is very much needed. However, I work around this (minimize UPF) in a wise way too.
I prepare my own frozen food. I thought I only needed a steamer and microwave to heat it up. One of the frozen foods that I like to stock the most is siomay with peanut sauce. Of course, this is not just an ordinary siomay.
Vegan siomay makes me really like tofu. It really tastes delicious, sweet and savory in one bite. You could say this is my way to really enjoy high-protein food without feeling guilty.
Peanut Sauce
- 100 gr peanut
- Oil for frying
- Spices (shallots, garlic, red chilies, galangal)
- Palm sugar and salt
- Lime leaves and tamarind
- 60 ml coconut milk
- Filling: tofu and cabbage
Making this food is simple. But what must be cooked first is peanut sauce. Different from peanut sauce in general which emphasizes a lot of peanuts, I prefer thick peanut sauce that is balanced with all the spices and ingredients.
Well, the peanuts that have been fried or roasted (make sure they are perfectly cooked), then chopped until smooth and even release the natural oil from the peanuts. Then grind them together with spices except for lime leaves and tamarind.
After everything has been mashed, the next step is to cook it with 250 ml of water. Boil and mix with tamarind, lime leaves and coconut milk. Add salt and palm sugar, adjust to taste. I prefer a balanced taste of salt and sugar. By the way, the strength of this peanut sauce comes from the aroma of kencur.
After that, I fried the tofu. Actually I wanted to put a little flour into the fried tofu, but it tasted better not to, so it was full of protein. I added a little cabbage for the vegetables!
See you the next time hive friends!

I’m very enthusiastic about foodies, traveling, books, movies and many other things that always circle my brain.
