Sliced beef with creamy sauce (beef stroganoff) and supposedly butter rice (the onion was caramelized and it made the rice brownish color).

The creamy sauce (bechamel) was ready to use (i kinda meal-prepared it, store in fridge) which made the cooking process much faster and easy!!

I found the combination of butter rice (or just simple fried rice with margarine) and creamy sauce was very delicious 🤤🤤🤤

Steamed - Macaroni Schotel.

This meal was very simple, quick, and the result is good (thanks to cheese). Here I used cooked-macaroni from the previous day, egg, milk, cheese, spices (salt, pepper, etc). Then, mixed the ingredients in an aluminum foil and steam until done 💫

Today's breakfast. Finally, i'm back to cooking ha

Today's breakfast. Finally, i'm back to cooking haha. I was sooo lazy to cook last month. However, having food delivered is not always good for me. I could not control what i ate, ate less veggie and more fries (because they taste better than my cookings, obviously). So, i tried this small steps of cooking by cook easy-quick-tasty meals.

In pics:
- omelette with smoked beef, cheddar cheese (pre-grated and put in fridge, really helpful when I cook), and some butter, salt and pepper.
- no-fried potato chips (just put it in pan and give some heat)
- the drink is cold brew green tea (first time trying) that I made last night. It was so easy to make. As for the taste, I could not taste much difference than the hot-brew except this one is cold (hence, refreshing) and no fuss in the morning.

Most likely to recook this menu again 😆

Percobaan pertama membuat niku udon. Resepnya dari cookpad.

Kuah:
300 ml air
1 sdm dashi
1 sdm shoyu/kecap asin kikkoman
1 sdm gula
Garam secukupnya

Daging:
Daging ditumis dengan shoyu dan dashi. Sesuai selera sih.

Untuk kriuknya dapat 'cooking-hack' di resep cookpad yaitu tepung roti ditumis di pan pakai minyak sedikit.

Kesimpulan: edible haha, kuahnya mirip meskipun belum sama persis.

Kangen makan di marugame 😭

Cemilan buat baca novel hari ini: mie digoreng.

Pengen cemilan, tapi males beli-beli. Akhirnya iseng buat ini 🍿

Cara buat: mie telur direbus biasa, terus dikasih bumbu kaldu, terus digoreng sampai crispy. Kalau udah crispy ditiriskan dan ditambah bumbu.

Meatless japanese hamburg steak (?) I used tempe

Meatless japanese hamburg steak (?)

I used tempeh as meat replacement (slide 3 & 4). Tasted ok, not great yet. Very cheesy, though (it has cheese inside it as well).

Need to improve the spices and its sauce 🤔 I used tomato sauce since usually tomato sauce & cheese go well together 🤔🤔 what sauce should i try? Creamy mushroom sauce to neutralize the cheesy taste?

Smoked beef & cheese cutlet (?) I got this recipe from @nigiricco
youtube. So happy with the recipe, thank you! 😁

Somehow it's like cordon bleu without chicken (which is no problem for me since i'm more of beef-eater than chicken-eater). My lunch break time was worth it 👌👌👌

Entah ini namanya apa haha. Ini dari sisa tepung + parmesan buat coating ayam (kalau dibuang kan sayang) terus dikasih air sedikit sampai jadi adonan kental. Lalu digoreng. Rasanya kayak cheesestik, gurih, meskipun bentuknya bukan stik 🙃

Cheesecake week! This time i used blender for mixing the cheese batter and it resulted in smoother texture. Great! 🤩🤩🤩

Also, the crust part is easier to cut than the previous one i made. Happy~

Rabokki (Ramen + tteokbokki). Ini random banget pa

Rabokki (Ramen + tteokbokki). Ini random banget pagi-pagi bikin rabokki setelah ngeliat youtubenya @yackikuka . Sebelumnya pernah coba bikin tteokbokki sendiri dan gagal: tteok bagian dalamnya ga mateng, ga chewy, ngerebusnya lama banget, mana ada yang nempel2 di panci jadi susah bersihin pancinya. Pas itu udah give up aja lah bikin tteokbokki, effortnya >>> hasilnya wkwk

Pagi ini coba bikin lagi, pakai resep tteokbokki-nya yackikuka yg episode baru. Prosesnya terasa lebih gampang daripada pas percobaan pertama yang dulu gagal 😂.Ngerebus tteoknya juga cuma 10 menitan udah matang, mungkin faktor ukuran tteok juga kali ya.
Senang akhirnya bisa bikin tteok ini wkwk Tteokbokki ini asalkan udah bikin tteoknya, sisa proses masaknya tinggal tumis-tumis sama bumbunya + tambah keju biar ada gurihnya. Kali ini pakai mozarella, cuma ga keliatan soalnya keaduk pas nuang dari panci ke piring 🤪

Nasi jamur.

Inspirasinya dari nasi jamur yang dijual di lab biru. Cari resepnya di cookpad dan ternyata bumbunya ga ribet (saus tiram, lada, garam), masaknya pun ditumis aja. Pas banget buat abisin stok jamur di kulkas (dan lagi bosen kalau dibuat jamur crispy terus). Di atasnya ditabur gurih ya yang spicy nori 🤤🤤🤤 .

Kepikiran apa tumisan jamurnya bisa disimpan jadi meal prep? Jamurnya bisa dikasih bumbu rendang jadi kayak gimana ya? 🤔 .

Pros:
• masaknya cepet
• bisa pakai batang jamur (yang biasanya kebuang karena bingung mau buat apa).

Stackable mini ube (purple yam) pancakes + caramel

Stackable mini ube (purple yam) pancakes + caramel sauce (store bought). Since I use purple yam (steamed, mashed with blender), i did not add much flour... that's a good thing, isn't it?
