Tempoyak

Tempoyak is my favorite food. It is the original food from West Kalimantan. It is a food and it can be spice in cooking. I am very happy if my mother cooking Tempoyak. My appetite will increase. Maybe some of you have heard about it, but here I will explain in more detail.

Tempoyak consist of Durian fruit. Durian with any kind can be made into Tempoyak. Ripe Durian separate with content and seeds. Here, we will use it rather than seeds. The contents of this then we put in a bottle. Then, we can mix it with salt. After that we can close the bottle. We let it for several days.We can eat this Tempoyak. As a side dish, we can serve by adding sugar and chili. Delicious Tempoyak can we enjoy with the hot rice.

Tempoyak can be a spice to cooking. If Tempoyak meeting with a fresh fish it can be so delicious. Only by using simple ingredients, we can make a special food from Borneo. Delicious, the word that can we say if we say Tempoyak. Ok, I will share to you about all the steps how to make it. First, we have to prepare all the tools, such as a pot, a spoon, and a stove. Then we have to prepare the materials like fish, onion, garlic, turmeric, lemon grass, salt, sugar and of course Tempoyak. After we prepare all of them, we are ready to cook it and feel like go home to Borneo.

Very easy to cooking Borneo food likes this. First of all, we have to do is refine all the seasoning spices, but lemon grass is only necessary for us to crushed it. Furthermore, we can put the spice has been dissolved into the boiling water. After that, we can stir the ingredients until evenly distributed and than we put Tempoyak about a tablespoon full. After all of them mix, we can put the fish into the pan. We wait until the fish is cooked.

Finally, Tempoyak with fresh fish can be served. We can eat it accompanied by “sambal” and vegetables. It’s easy to make dishes of West Kalimantan. I really miss this food.
