FoodFightFriday 33: Fight My Black Squid Soup🍶🐙

in #fff5 years ago

Hellow Foodies and Steemit Fellows😉

Yaaaayy😃 it's Friday and it's time to send some blows to my fellow contenders😉 at #fff by @foodfightfriday 😘

I'm just so happy when My Hubby said He craved for fish soup like Tomyam😊 though I forgot how to make that one😂😂 I remember I made it 2 and half years ago when we still live in Banda Aceh, where you can find any kind of fishes and other sea creatures in any size you want😊.

since I was so serious on my recipe's experiment, I forgot to documenting the process😂😂

My @dipoabasch asked me to check the recipe from cookpad or other site about the recipe😊 but I refused his idea and try my best to try what my mind told me to. Lucky that our travelling vegetable's seller, Kang Jawirio still has the shrimps and squids😊, I just grab it all and corriander powder (instead of corriander leaves😆 he hasn't had that one😊)

I seperated the head and tails of the shrimps, head will be boiled for cats and tails for the brooth. I blended the garlic, corriander, a slice of ginger, and one big cayenne. Prepare the minced galangal, minced lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and bayleaf.

Stir-fry the seasonings for few minutes,aahh.. yeap, sliced onion first😊 add the galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and bay leaf till it smells good and add the shrimp. Stir-fry it for 3 more minutes and add the shrimp's brooth. Let it simmers for 10 more minutes after adding sliced bilimbis and a sliced tomato. Check the taste by adding some salt and a tsp oyster sauce. Done!

the yummy tummy black squid soup😀

I supposed to cook something like on the cook book recipe with the squid😊

Acehnese Squid Stir-fry it said😂

But I have something in my mind 😉 I have a big carrot and then I grated it. I prepared the seasoning like shallot, turmeric, ginger,garlic and cayenne (no corriander for this😀)

I stir-fry the sliced green chillies, the seasoning and the carrot for few minutes then add the coconut cream and dissolved it some water too.

beautiful isn't it?

I cooked it on low heat for few minutes till the carrot soften and it has a sweet taste already😊.

time to add the sliced squids😊 and I didn't clean it tints😊

Ahh.. yeap, I'll make it fresher by adding a sliced bilimbi later😊 I have tomato, but sometimes bilimbi would just gives a better fresh taste than tomato or lemon juice 😊. Cooked it for 5 minutes in medium heat and the beautiful yellow colour faded away😂😂😂

yaayyy... it slowly turns to dark green soup😂

My Mommy would laughed at me if She knews that I didn't clean the squid properly like she taught me when I was a kid😊. Squid in Achenese Language called as "Noh" also a shortname of My Father😂😂 so, sometimes when our neighbour asking for what's our menu today? I would proudly said Mom cooked Father's Fish in Soy Ketchup 😆 I don't really understand why the Achenese named Squid as a shortname of a prophet who was living in a Whale belly for years before Allah Sent him back to his community. Prophet Yunus as or Jonah😊.

Okay, were are we? FOOD FIGHT FRIDAY, RIGHT?

Time to add the sliced bilimbi and salt to taste and it turn out to be sooooooo perfectly tasty😊. No pepper or nutmeg to add, no kaffir lime leaf or bayleaf or lemongrass or galangal too😆 just perfect like that and My Squid Soup also in a perfect black gravy thing.

it's been for sometimes I've never seen My Hubby eats more than 3 times a day😊

But with those Yummy Tummy Fish Soup which I named it Tom-cik instead of Tomyam😂 and by midnight, I saw and empty bowl of My Black Squid Soup😊. He just back and fro to the dining table more than 3 times😂😂😂.

He fights the sea food I made for him😊

as a habit, I never ate immediately after I cooked delicious food, I love to see the man I love eats it, so.. He picked up some rambutans for me😊 and now I know, I'll survive with Rambutan only😂

That's it.. This is my contribution for @foodfightfriday this week😉 Let's see how you do it😊

Sort:  

WOW @cicisaja, you are a genius, this looks absolutely amazing!

😂😂😉 I'm not genius @lizelle.. but I think I'm a bit insane 😂😂😂 Thank you for stopping by😊

I agree wity you 😝

Great post 🙌🙌🙌

Oohh come on @guchidan.. don't put a comment like a spammer 😂😂😂 have you ever seen bilimbi?

Not really lol, don't mind me was just Passing and felt like dropping a comment.

Thank you anyway 😉 I saw your new post but the internet connection was so bad so I couldn't drop any comment easily this week ..

So sorry about that good to hear from you again @cicisaja

Ahhhh yeah, it’s always a pleasure to see your entries on Friday, chef! This Tom-cik sounds and pictures Bomb-cik!! Great job putting this article together.

There’s so many things I enjoyed with this article, for starters, the veggie guy—Kang. <— that sure is a cool name! 👍🏿

Is it just me, or am I reading the cayenne, peppers, garlic correctly and this is a spicy dish? Is it real spicy @cicisaja? And, bilimbi, what in the heck is that?! For the record... I can’t make this up!! My autocorrect typed bikini when I tried to type bilimbi (it just did it again actually) “good phone, very-very good phone—keep up the good work!”

And I dig the book recipe you pictured, sure, I see the presentation but the language is a reminder to acknowledge your English writing skills, girl! Very impressive!

Great entry, chef! It’s always a pleasure to see you in the kitchen @cicisaja.

Here is the bilimbi fruit😊 fresh and real from its tree😉 it supposed to be hot and spicy @dandays, but I made it not too hot and spicy, 1 or 2 cayenne peppers is enough, since it kinda a devil cayenne😂😂 because it is too hot😉 you'll lose your ability to taste the other tasty things if all you can have only a spicy one😁

I made this food on thursday and I already create a draft in my head, that cook book only as a stimulant to my wild imagination of cooking experiment😂😂😂 I know I'd never following any recipe the way it should be.

By the way 😂 I always like to read your comments, funny that you could easily understood what I wrote here. While I myself sometimes laughing out loud for my mistype and mispelling😂

Yay! There you are again for food fight. I love that you are a regular contender now. I’ll have a bowl of your seafood soup any day. Your cats are kind of spoiled you know. Really, you boil them shrimp heads and stuff… best cat mom of the planet award goes to @cicisaja. Another great triple F contender my friend 😉

Unfortunately @puravidaville 😢 I don't remember how to re-cook anything I ever cooked 😂😂😂 so I wouldn't know the perfect taste too. My target is to make my hubby eating more and more at home rather than ordered from online restaurants which I knew, he ordered it to prevents me from getting tired of cooking😆 because the taste of ordered foods never really met our taste.

If I didn't give the shrimp head to the cats, it smell would be so stink in few days and invite more flies😊 so.. the cats love it, it's not the whole shrimps anyway😂

Thanks for stopping by @puravidaville😘

I like to prepare our meals rather than eat out too? Food from a restaurant never tastes as good as a home cooked meal in my opinion. I think it’s great you give your cats the shrimp head. I’m just saying you get the best cat mom award for cooking for your cats in addition to your family.

Lately I’ve been making up recipes and not writing anything down so it’s been difficult to recreate the same again. I like cooking in that way though. There’s something very therapeutic about it. You just keep rockin on with your bad self Mrs. Saja. 😉

😂😂😂 thank you @puravidaville ... the cats are my boss actually😂😂 I'm not a picky eater but it is hard to make me in love to any restaurant foods😊 because I keep telling myself that there's no delicipus food in this world except my mom and sister's did the cooking😂😂😂 but I love to try anything as long as it is home cooking foods😊

I read your recipes and I just wondering how good are you on mix and match the spices and everything😊 I don't know much about cooking, but my mind keep telling me to do this or that just because I'm curious about what will happens😂

I like to mix and match too. I don’t have access to all of the spices I used to but I’ve found some good staples. Dandays seems to think I do okay with my spice creations :). There’s no meal like mom and grandmas meal. That’s just a fact 😉

@cicisaja, I love your exotic foods but squid is not on my to eat list. I admire all of the different seasonings and spices you use in your food...great taste.

Thank you @paleotwist 😉 we can't eat everything.. but we know how to find a better substitute for it, right😉. I learned about using the spices through other recipes too.. but at the end if it, all Indonesian food only started with shallot, garlic,cayenne or chilli, ginger and certain acidic fruits like bilimbi, lime, etc.

Wow, besides she shrimp and squid I get lost in you recipes HAHAHA I must not get out much... hey this isn't about me it about these amazing dishes you keep bringing to the food fight. You always send me on a food fight overload with all those many dishes you bring to the Food Fight Friday Arena.
Great now I am craving Seafood Really Bad!!

😂😂😂 I need to keep the secret recipe from my contenders @jlsplatts 😂😂😂 .. JK.
I think I need to link some of the words in my post to make you understand what I'm saying😂😂.. thank you for splattz worthy😉
