Parsnip has the special feature that it becomes velvety soft, provided you use just enough water. Not too much not too little. Really so delicious. And that taste is so fantastic. I remember the first time I had it. I was skeptical, but sold right away. So delicious. Here with some curry madras and red lentils it turns into a very spicy and nutritious soup. Nice in a small bowl with a small spoon. And then simply enjoy every bite.

Some things you would like to eat every day. Sticky tempeh is one of these dishes. Indonesian people are famous for their fantastic cuisine of course, and this dish you can wake me up for it any time of the night. Together with some stir fried cabbage with ginger and red chili pepper, some sweet soy sauce and black rice, you’ve got yourself the best package deal.

Could we have ramen noodles tonight, asked one of our daughters. She had travelled through Asia and longed for these tastes. I looked up several recipes in cook books and decided to try it this way. It was bulls eye. Such an amazing taste. A unique taste although I did detect my good old tahina while eating the soup. I never knew Asian cuisine also used sesame paste.

Rendang is slow food 5.0. The longer it can simmer the better it gets. I have made it with oxheart cabbage. And a well balanced combination of spices, classic in the Indonesian cuisine. One of the sons declared the other day that this is one of his favourite vegan dishes. Need I say more?
