Sukiyaki At Shabu Shabu Gen - The Plaza Thamrin

Image
Indulgence your appetite with the new Sukiyaki set from Shabu Shabu Gen , yes they're famous for their Shabu-Shabu though. The difference between Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki, Sukiyaki is cooked with just a little amount of liquid while Shabu-Shabu is soupy that you're able to slurp the broth. Sukiyaki is much sweeter, thicker beef slices, and no soup to sip. chawanmushi First, let me start with Chawanmushi , classic Japanese appetizer, steamed egg topped with prawn, shiitake mushroom, and veggies. To bring up the appetite, a salad consists of lettuce, cherry tomato, radish, carrot, and sweet corn, tangy Japanese dressing, salty soy sauce, and my favorite sesame oil.  fresh salad Finally, the main dish, Sukiyaki. Sirloin A4 Kagoshima , melt in mouth, super tasty beefy, dipped into raw egg if you like (just like how it supposed to be), but personally I'm not into raw egg so I prefer to eat it right away. I suggest to add small amount of grated ginger, though you're not reall

Resep: Cheesy Creamed Spinach Recipe

Image
You surely can use spinach, but I prefer horenso. Classic creamed spinach goes well with steak, grilled chicken, or even pasta. Some people do it with cream, I use milk instead because I added some cheese. Cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan, my classic combination, no doubt. For me,  Mimolette cheese also works well with the spinach but it's very hard to find here in Jakarta, anyway a couple table spoon of cream cheese can be added for even creamier spinach. If using horenso, you surely can remove the stalk but I like to use both the stalks and leaves though you need to squeeze the blanched spinach really well to remove the excess water. Ingredients : 4-5 bunch of horenso / spinach 2 tbsp butter 1 clove minced garlic 2 tbsp minced onion 1 tbsp all purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup cheese (combination of mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese, or any of your preference) salt to taste a pinch of grated nutmeg (optional) water as needed ice as needed Directions : Blanch: put horenso
