One of my good friends A recently spent three months in Indonesia. When she came back to America and visited me in New York, she found an Indonesian restaurant among the myriad ethnic restaurants here to fill her cravings.
Everything we ate at the restaurant was delicious, but A mostly pointed out how the dishes are hard for her to replicate at home, because they use hard-to-find ingredients. However, when I mmmmmed at one particularly delicious side dish, A said, "oh, that one I make at home all the time." It was collard greens, simply sautéed in coconut milk, which gave them a creamy delicious taste.
I tried to replicate the same at home, but with kale. It didn't taste quite like the greens in the indo restaurant, but it was still a good side dish.
I went back to school today and start classes tomorrow. I have one more post to share of stuff I made at home, and then I'll be back to good ol' cooking in the small kitchen!
