Finally after a long delay (almost ), I made sapo tahu. I started to cook at 10 o'clock in the morning and captured it one hour later. Today photo session was tough, I lost my soul in food photography. The sun shines brightly (too strong) and my mood was bad. Exhausted after two days working and little bit discontented after hearing that my sister has to reduce some of my belonging from the luggage to avoid the excess baggage. Yup, my mom, sister and niece will come to visit us. Inshaallah, they will reach Germany tomorrow at 14:00. Houaisssssss!!
Psssttt you know what, my best friend , was laughing out loud when I told her that I'm not satisfied with the photos. And as always, she can comfort me with her laugh. Thanks a lot dear, love you.
Sapo tofu is a Chinese food cooked and served in a claypot. They said that the secret of this food is the claypot that keep it warm and enhance the taste. You can read more about claypot in Wikipedia.
Mbak* Rieke, , for me is a reliable source in culinary field. Her recipes never failed, always turned out good. She is also the one who encourage me to make my own martabak pastry. For me, she is one of my idol among the Indonesian foodiebloggers.
I did small modification by substituting hioko mushroom with button mushroom since I couldn't find them in Asia shop and using dried green onion instead of fresh one. I also reduced some amount of the ingredients. Gottseidank, my hubsie said that he likes it and it tastes very good.
, thanks a lot!

your welcome Deity
gue nih ya, kalo laper selalu jalan2 ke blognya kak sefa. langsung kenyang liat sapo tahu.
btw, ini resep GOHU dari si mamah yang asli menadoneisss. dikopipes langsung dari YM (alah, serumah aja sok YMan nih... HAHAHAH!)
bumbunya untuk sauce :
cabe merah, jahe dikit, garem --> ulek ato blender;
masak pake air sesuai kebutuhan terus di saring;
tambahkan gula pasir (selagi panas biar larut) + cuka --> to taste;
buahnya : pepaya mengkel dipotong ukuran panjangnya setengah tusuk gigi tebelnya terserah ya mirip tempe buat kering tempe; kalo gak ada pepaya mengkel biasanya pakai timun (buang bijinya) juga boleh;
kalo timun ya dipotongnya : timun dibelah 4 memanjang, buang bijinya, terus di slice rada tebel; campur potongan pepaya mengkel ke sauce yang udah didinginin dulu (room temp.) terus simpen dulu di fridge sekitar 1-2 jam, biar rasa bumbunya nyerep ke buah; selesai;
wakakakaka... Miund, bisa aja... liat foto malah kenyang :))
asiiikkkkkk... gohu segera dibikin begitu dapat pepaya muda :D
salam hormat dan terimakasih utk Mamah tercinta
