Hi, how are you today? What is that? That is my new recipe! Inspired by a traditional Indonesian dish called "pecel". Yes, I made it simple and easy prep than usual by using peanut butter. And yes, it's vegetables! Let's check it out! 😋

Ingredient:

• 4 spoons (full spoon) of peanut butter - I use Tesco peanut butter

• 1 lemon - squeeze the lemon to get the juice out
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 kaffir lime leaf
• About 100 ml of warm water
• 1 pack of red spinach
• 1 cucumber - I use Japanese cucumber
• 1/2 carrot - cut the carrot make it small
• Cabbage - just enough cabbage for 2 person

These are what you do:

1. First, make the peanut butter lemon sauce

• Prepare the blender, add the peanut butter, lemon water, kaffir lime leaf, garlic, and pour the warm water. You can also add olive oil or butter. Blend them about 2-3 minutes or until they are mixed well
• That's it, the peanut butter lemon sauce is ready. This is for 4-5 portion
• If you like hot and spicy sauce, add some chili. I added crushed red pepper

2. Prepare the vegetables

• Cut and wash the red spinach then boil it. Do not boil the vegetables for more than 5 minutes. For me, just 2-3 minutes is enough
• Prepare the rest of the veggies without boiling them

3. Prepare the meal (dinner):

• First, place the peanut butter lemon sauce on the plate
