The Beef Teriyaki : Indonesian style teriyaki

Hi Guys! This will be my last food post for my blog project. i don't have the photo of the food, so i decided to use my photo of me and the food. This is a Beef teriyaki. I am using the kikoman teriyaki sauce (found it in Indonesia). This food is usually best eaten with rice, japanese eat it with a bowl of rice on their hands. Cooking time is approximately 15 minutes. Ingredients and tools are already mentioned in the steps. Enjoy Cooking!

Step 1 : (Tools used : Knife, Cutting Board. Ingredients Used : Whole Beef)
Cut the whole beef into slices first, the beef should not be too small or too thick, too thick will not make you get a maximum flavour. The beef slice should probably be as thick as the photo beside) Then put the slices of beef to a plate

 


Step 2 : (Tools used : Shredder. Ingredients Used : Kikoman Teriyaki Sauce, Ginger, Black pepper)
Shred the ginger first into pieces, and then you pour the kikoman (Don't pour too many), the ginger and the black pepper. Then, you mix it with a spoon or with your hand, sometimes using your hand is easier because it's quite wet and it might slip through your spoon causing some difficulties to mix

Step 3 : (Tools Used : Frying pan. Ingredients Used : Onion and step 2)
Cut the onion into 6 pieces (not dicing it). Then  Put all the beef that has already been mixed with ingredients on step 2 to the pan, turn on to medium-low heat, and then sautee it until the beef for a while, then add some liquid cornstarch for a thick teriyaki sauce, then sautee againhas already extract all the sauces then turn off the heat and serve it in a bowl. Then it's done!

The Passion fruit Drink : Fresh Up Your World!

Hi Guys! Here is my first drink Post that i am very excited to post . The Passion fruit Drink (Indonesian : "Markisa"). 
This drink is quite easy to make, and note that i use my homegrown Passion fruit. The Passion fruit is the yellow-fleshed one so that it could be processed to a thick syrup.  while the white fleshed, you can eat it directly, but I'm not sure if it can be processed into a syrup

This is The Passion fruit photo that i took from my garden a while ago. This Yellow Fleshed Passionfruit is Very sour. so don't eat it directly




Some Facts about Passion fruit :
- It has Quite good amount of Vitamin A(For Skin) and Vitamin C(For your lips and body system against flu)
- The Flower of Passion fruit is The national Flower of Paraguay 
(Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora_edulis and www.nutrition-and-you.com/passion-fruit.html)



Cooking Time Should be approximately 30-40 minutes. We Start from making the syrup. Enjoy Making it!

Step 1 : (Tools Used : Knife, Ingredients Used 6 Pieces of Passion fruit)
Cut the 6 Pieces of Passion fruit (remember, Use a cutting Board so that your table won't get dirty!). 

 
 


Step 2 : (Tools Used : Small Spoon, Pan. Ingredients Used : Step 1 & 450-500 gr of Sugar)
Slowly Take The fruit away from the skin, then, add 450-500 gr of sugar (This is extra sour, so i have to put that much sugar to the fruit in the pan, u might want a bit of sourness to the syrup, then you might wanna go for 400 gr of Sugar)

 Step 3 : (Tools Used : Pan, Big Spoon. Ingredients Used : Step 2, 50-70 ml of water)
(Sorry if the 1st pic is upside down) Turn on the heat to low, then mix the sugar and fruit for a while, then add 50-70ml of water (The Thickness of The syrup depends on the water). and Then Keep Mixing It, colour will start to become very light yellow and at last its colour will become a bit dark. (This takes about 15-20 minutes. it's quite long)







 Step 4 : (Tools Used : Filter, Spoon, small basin. Ingredients Used : Step 3)
Last Step. After Step 3 is done, Use The filter to seperate seeds and the Syrup. Use The Spoon to get maximum amount of The Syrup.  

 


Yup! and that is done for the syrup guys. how to make the drink? 3 simple steps. put 2 spoons of syrup to a glass, add water, add ice cubes, add some toppings if you want
