This soup is not like any other soup. It’s sour, peperrie, and slimy. It has a unique taste and the ingredients are very vegetarian friendly. It reminds me a lot of Beijing’s time, and they also call it Beijing soup. I am glad that I can make this soup to reminisce my memories of old…

Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodle)
There are many ways of cooking Mie Ayam (Chicken Noodle), and this style is more of Chinese Indonesian style. I like to use the (fresh) frozen noodle from Asian market in Stuttgart instead of dried noodle. The consistency is better and it feels just like noodle I normally eat back in Indonesia. But of course,…
American Pancakes
This is our little family Sunday breakfast tradition – Simple and Easy American pancakes, serve with butter and maple syrup. Sometimes I like to get creative by putting on caramel sauce or chocolate sauce. It’s fluffy and easy to pair with whatever I feel like… 🙂 INGREDIENTS 220 g …
Japchae (Korean glass noodle)
Another dish that can be served warm or cold. This time I made a Korean style noodle, as called Japchae. I have made this several time and I find it very easy to make but definitely need time to prepare. It’s also quite feeling, so be careful when you serve yourself a portion…:) Hope you…
Spicy lemon vinaigrette – Salad dressing
Finding a good salad dressing can be challenging, and I particularly picky about it. I am bored with the basic vinegar or balsamic and olive oil because even if I use a good quality olive oil or balsamic, it still tastes “basic”. So I researched and tried out a few different recipes and finally came…
Chinese Congee/Porridge
When I was living in Beijing, I used to have Porridge/Congee for my weekend breakfast, usually I like to order the thousand-egg congee at the Chinese restaurant. I know that many of westerners are not used to this kind of dish, because in western countries porridge/congee is supposed to be sweet and made from oatmeal….
Chinese Tea Eggs 茶叶蛋 (using earl grey)
I used to eat these eggs when I lived in Beijing as my breakfast. I grabbed 2 eggs every morning on my way to work at the small shop close to the subway station. The smell of the eggs just make me sooo happy somehow, and I could smell it from far away. So while…
Mie Goreng Tek-tek (Indonesian fried-noodle, street food style)
Lately I have been missing Indonesian street-food, after all it is where I am from, and unfortunately Stuttgart has nothing to offer. So I gotta make one to fulfil my homesickness. One of my favorite street-food is Mie Goreng Tek-tek. The name comes from the seller that hits the wok on the food cart and…
Ayam Suwir (Indonesian Shredded Spicy Chicken)
Another dish that can be eaten warm or cold, is Indonesian shredded spicy chicken. Every weekend I try to make big quantity dishes so that I can have them for a few days, especially now that I don’t have much time to cook during the day. I paired this dish with my Tempe Orek (Indonesian…
