Today's Indonesian Feast: Lontong Sayur - Rice Cakes with Beef Veggie Stew in Coconut Milk
![lontong sayur 1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPGY6wWrJcbnSpcRbxCsFsCzmYjDSju9ALrbLzXCyD824/lontong%20sayur%201.jpg)

Some time ago, I got a visit from a friend who brought me some goodies from Indonesia, including Indonesian bay leaves and rice cake moulds. Before leaving to Europe, I kindly asked her if it's possible to bring me those things for me because I couldn't find them here and I was craving for rice cakes but I have always failed each time I tried to make it. She said yes and she even delivered them herself to my apartment. How lovely she is!

Yesterday, I finally got to try the rice cake moulds and it worked like magic!! In Indonesia, people often eat *lontong* or rice cakes with soup or with sate (chicken satay). Lontong is normally wrapped inside banana leaves, but sometimes people also use plastic. I cant afford to make *lontong* every time using banana leaves as it's quite expensive here. But once in a while is fine :-D

![lontong 1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbMUtMF4ULTiE3GzUTLvejmp8LY85LCzweV9xDJbMjmzp/lontong%201.jpg)

To accompany *lontong*, I made a beef veggie stew in coconut milk. This dish is very popular in Indonesia, there are a lot of *warung* (food stall) selling this dish. We normally use chayote and green bean for the stew but I didn't have on hand so I went with the ingredients that I had in my kitchen. You may also add hard boiled egg and tofu if you wish.

My kitchen smelled so fragrant from the spices, it smelled like home. So happy for having good food originated from our native country when we're away. It brings up some memories and these makes the taste even better. Now I am thinking of organizing Indonesian night where I can share some Indonesian culinary to my friends. It sounds great, doesn't it? I think that's a good theme for celebrating my upcoming birthday. I'll think more about it :-)

Thanks my friend! I think it wont be difficult for you to like Indonesian food as we use also so much spices. And I'm sure you can make it by yourself as well :-) Have a nice weekend!

I bet! Coconut milk soups always have great aromas just on its own, but with all these ingredients I can almost imagine the taste... And it's gooooood haha

Oh really? The use of spices reminds me of Indian cuisine as well but this one is light. I think Indian will use more spices and the dish will look more vibrant.

Yes, we tend to overdo spices, but in south india they use a lot of coconut too. quite similar.

I love this dish! The rice cakes are so delicious!  My friend from Indonesia made this for me once.  Just reading this I can smell all the spices.  Your dish looks great and as always your photos are amazing.
