Vegetables Series: Manado Papaya Buds

Unlike myself, who can eat same vegetables from day to day, week to week,month to month, she will be bored to dead. Fortunately, before that happens, her creativity kicks in. Combining leftovers in the fridge, she cook this Manadonese traditional dishes: Stir Fry Papaya Buds with corn. Is is spicy, hot, salty, slightly bitter, and ultimately refreshing.



This food can be found in almost all of Manado Restaurant in Jakarta. Yet, making it yourself is simple. Just stir fry in particular order: garlic, shallots, corn, chill, boiled Papaya Buds, Lemon Basil, precooked Anchovy. The dishes should be slightly oily, so add some more generous oil if needed.

It took less than 30 minutes to prepare, and 15 minutes to cook. Best eaten with steamed rice

Ven, gue juga belum dapet cara yg proper. Di resep yg gue dapet ini katanya direbus sama air garem. Ada juga yg bilang sebelum direbus bunganya diremas-remas sama garem dulu sebentar, baru direbus. Worth trying mungkin, secara yg kemaren ini gue gak sempet naruh garem di rebusannya..

Ben & Gerry *halah
