O
In my area, plik u vegetables are very popular, especially in Aceh. Plik u vegetables are indeed a typical Acehnese dish, so I can't deny that this vegetable is very famous everywhere, even internationally. Usually, plik vegetables contain melinjo fruit, melinjo leaves, long beans, and chayote. But today, in addition to the vegetables mentioned above, I really want to add banana blossom to this vegetable to add to the deliciousness of the plik vegetables.
Have you ever made this plik u vegetable? In my house, this dish is very often cooked by my mother, because in our house we are very fond of plik u sauce. Plik u itself is made from rotted coconuts that are dried in the sun until dry, then the oil from the coconut can be extracted, which we usually call oil simplah, yes, that's what Acehnese people usually call it, hehehe
Meanwhile, coconuts that have been dried in the sun until they are completely dry are called plik u, u itself meaning coconut.Previously, I also shared a post with a recipe for plik u sauce, but it didn't use banana blossom, while today the plik sauce is different, it uses banana blossom.
I'm curious about how I cook this pliek u vegetable, with a very thick and tasty sauce that makes this dish a target for foreigners who visit Aceh,
OK, below I will share step by step how I make this vegetable plik u
Materials used
2 banana blossoms
500 ml coconut milk
100 grams of plik u
100 grams of melinjo leaves
1 stalk of torch ginger
100 grams of melinjo fruit
1 stalk lemongrass
5 lime leaves
Sliced green chilies
Ground spices
5 shallots
15 bird's eye chilies
1 piece of turmeric
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 nutmeg
6 dried red chilies
7 pieces of sunti
Manufacturing procedure
First
First, I started blending the ground spices, then I set them aside, I peeled the skin off the banana blossom then I chopped the banana blossom into small pieces, I combined the banana blossom vegetables with the melinjo leaf vegetables.
Second
then I put the spices that I had ground into the vegetables, I also ground the plik u then I put it into the coconut milk, then I put the coconut milk into the vegetables by filtering it.
Third
I also added chopped lime leaves, chopped onions and chopped green chilies as well as lemongrass that had been cut into small pieces, then I cooked the vegetables until cooked, and I also didn't forget to add 1 spoon of salt.
RESULTS
and this is the result of my cooking today, I ate it with warm rice and very fragrant salted fish, indeed typical plik vegetables with salted fish are very delicious
Well, if you have these vegetables at home, you can cook them like I did. I guarantee this recipe is very delicious, but I also don't know if plik is sold anywhere else besides in my area, because these vegetables are not delicious without plik.
Thank you very much for those who have taken the time to read my post this time, I hope this post is a little useful for the readers, and see you in my next post and I also really hope for the support of all friends, so that what we want while we are here we can make it happen
