Sajoer Lodeh (vegetables, Cooked In Coconutmilk)

Out of all the armor God gives us to fight Satan, only one piece is used for killing – the sword. It is called the sword of the Spirit (Eph. 6:17). So when Paul says, “Kill sin by the Spirit” (Rom. 8:13), I take that to mean, Depend on the Spirit, especially His sword. What is the sword of the Spirit? It’s the Word of God (Eph. 6:17). Here’s where faith comes in… The Word of God cuts through the fog of Satan’s lies and shows me where true and lasting happiness is to be found. And so the Word helps me stop trusting in the potential of sin to make me happy, and instead entices me to trust in God’s promise of joy (Psm. 16:11).

INSTRUCTIONS

Indonesian recipe of course!  This is a way of cooking vegetables,
often used in the Indonesian  kitchen. Most of the time women use
leftovers to fix it. Best is to  use vegatables, which don't cook too
sloppy. I just found out that  taugÃ© in English is: beans sprouts.
They are often used in the  Indonesian kitchen. My daughter loves to
make sajoer lodeh with green  beans. They are good in it.  Fry the
onion and the pepper. Put the beans in a pan, add water till  it is
covered, add the tomatoes (in parts) and the stock cubes. Don't  forget
to add some salam and djeroek leaves. about 2 of each kind.  Makes the
flavor. (Don't eat them tho!). And the ginger. Not too  much. Just to
taste it a little bit. Ginger root is best. (Don't eat  that too! It
will make you run to your dentist). Let it cook till the  green beans
are well cooked. add the coconutmilk. after one minute  add the beans
sprouts and stir it all.  This is great with the chicken livers and the
white rice. When you  fix this together, you have a real Indonesian
dinner. You can eat it  with kroepoek (that is a kind of chips, you can
use that instead).  Fried pieces of tofu with a bit of soysauce
(sweet). peanuts. and a  spoon of pickles with it is great too.  Here
in the Netherlands we are not dependend of having a coconut. We  can
buy an instant bloc of the stuff in the stores, and simply cut a  slice
of it. You can use grinded coconut too. It is easy to make milk  of
that: pour water on it and squeeze over a pan. Oops..bad English,  I
suppose! I hope you all do understand what I mean. Pretend that  your
granny wrings out the laundry!  Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest by "Coby
