Soup salad ...? What type of food is a mix salad with soup? If curious, come to Banyuwangi, a city in East Java's east end. Soup salad was the typical food of the city.Ask the person Banyuwangi, typical of what is good food in town. Perhaps, salad soup is the answer first, then followed with rice tempong. (But, of course that if an accident were indeed enthusiasts of salad soup).One night in late November 2009 in Banyuwangi, we are looking for salad soup. We drove through town, look left and right road, looking for shops that sell salad soup. Also not found.Employee of a hotel in Banyuwangi say, difficult indeed to find a salad soup stall at night.Suggest a hotel guest to look at the Lesbian. "Look at Airlangga Road intersection, there is an open night," he said.We rushed off to Jalan Airlangga. And indeed, there are stalls lesehan. "Public Lesehan Lastri Ma'am", the words printed on canvas and mounted on the wall of the house. "I ask permission," says Ma'am Lastri, mother of two children aged 39 years running a small business alone. He said, just ease the burden on her husband, who make a living in the workshop."Yesterday there was a two-car entourage of Semarang in here, he said, curious about the salad soup. Salad soup stall loads here, but if the night is usually already closed, "he added.
Blend of vegetables and paste"Do you want soup or salad course salad?" Said Ma'am Lastri after we sat down.Standard questions, remember sometimes people just order a salad though rarely ordered only soup. Of course we ordered a salad soup.Salad in Banyuwangi lotek resembles in many cities in Central Java, which is mixed vegetables with peanut sauce. The difference, peanut sauce for lotek usually strong sense of onions, also spiked with a little shrimp paste and kaffir lime for flavor. While the salad Banyuwangi dibalur enough to paste. Paired peanut sauce and paste ground is suitable very well for vegetables.Ma'am Lastri began grinding or squash chili whose number depends on consumer demand. There is a buyer who wants one, but there are asked seven seeds. Salt, peanuts, and brown sugar diulek. Needless garlic apparently. "Because existing paste. I use an expensive and tasty paste, which one kilogram worth Rp 25,000, "said Ma'am Lastri.He re-grinding something, which apparently kluthuk bananas (bananas rock) young. In addition to tasty dishes can be trusted, bananas are a lot of seeds was also able to treat heartburn.Once mixed with water and acid paste, peanut sauce pestle and mortar was then added with the vegetables in the form of water spinach, long beans, cabbage, tofu, and tempeh. It could also be coupled with cingur or cow snout.Contrived after salad. Ma'am Lastri then pour gravy beef tripe soup into a bowl with salad which was coupled with a slice of rice cake. Smoke billowing, flowing flavor. Once presented on the mat, we were eating.Soto was preparedWhen observing the process make this soup salad, reasonable if the buyer had to wait quite a while. Especially if there are buyers who do not want to use bean sprouts, or do not like kale, and beans ask only, for example. Or demand varied chili. Ma'am Lastri must make salad in layers, starting from the least content rujaknya."Hence, for the soup should have finished first. This soup can also be of two types, use beef or chicken broth. if yes chicken claw. If cows usually contains tripe, intestines, or tetelan or beef, "said Ma'am Lastri.
Tetelan are slices of meat taken from the section closest to the bone. How to make soup for salad dressing is the same as soup in general. Onion, garlic, turmeric, nutmeg, ginger, pepper, and crushed coriander after then roasted. The material is incorporated into the already filled soup sauce beef tripe and beef tetelan. Also included lime leaf and leaf / stem lemongrass. Adjust the dose of salt and sugar.Make salad soup is tantamount to make two dishes in a dish. As the concept of two in one, two in one sense. Like jazz, salad soup is a fusion, a blend of two flavors together in one bowl. May seem complicated, but it's a challenge should try.
