Tahu Gejrot/ Fried Tofu in Chilli Soy Sauce

Tahu gejrot is a very simple dish to make, especially if you have access to freshly made deep fried tofu, which in Indonesia is not a problem at all. To this fried tofu, you make a simple sauce of garlic, shallot, Thai chilies, salt, palm sugar, water, and sweet soy sauce. Some people like to add vinegar to this, but I am in the camp who opt out from using vinegar. If you do want the vinegar version, just add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the recipe when making the sauce.

Here below the ingredients and the instructions to make Tahu Gejrot

Ingredients

• 10 deep fried tofu (Indonesian: tahu goreng, pong atau sumedang)
• 200 ml water
• 50 ml sweet soy sauce (Indonesian: kecap manis)
• 25 gram palm sugar (Indonesian: gula Jawa)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vinegar (Indonesian: cuka putih) (*)

Grind the following into spice paste

• 2 green Thai chilies (Indonesian: cabe rawit hijau)
• 1 shallot (Indonesian: bawang merah)
• 1 clove garlic (Indonesian: bawang putih)

Instructions

1. Cut each tofu into four pieces. Place cut tofu in a shallow serving bowl and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, boil together the spice paste, water, sweet soy sauce, palm sugar, salt, and vinegar (if using). Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Pour the sauce on top of the tofu and serve immediately.Enjoy!

Holiday

I've been waiting and waiting for holiday to come and it's finally here. I'm very happy to finally got a break from all the daily routine at school and im sure everyone also feel that way.

At the beginning of this holiday, im just spent almost all of my time for eating,playing games,watching movies, sleeping and repeat for three of four days.

Because im bored, i asked my friends to play at the new year's night and end up 6 of us went to gedung pakuan (Halim's house). We had so much fun that night that i dont even sleep that night, and all of us immediately went to tebing keraton. It took us 45 minutes in the morning and the road on the way to tebing keraton was very rough, but all the hardworks was paid after we take a close look at the amazing scenery there.

After that new year, i'm just went to Jakarta and back to Bandung. Yeah and i did my routine at the beginning of the holiday again.
