Genjer Menu To Treat Longing For Local Vegetables
Have you ever heard of a vegetable called GENJER? Actually, GENJER is the term in Indonesian. In English, the vegetable is called Yellow velvetleaf.
I don't know in which countries or regions there are GENJER vegetables like this. So, I call this vegetable a local vegetable that may not be found in your area.
This vegetable, which has a texture in the stem like elastic foam, grows in swamps and shallow waters. So, I haven't been able to grow them in my garden, but I'm still learning.
I haven't cooked this vegetable in my kitchen for a long time. However, at a local cafe, I often order this vegetable besides water spinach vegetables. So, for the reason of treating this longing, I will cook GENJER.
My husband also felt the same way. He felt excited when I told him that I would cook GENJER for dinner. So, my husband and I went shopping at the market in the afternoon before cooking.
I bought 3 bundles of GENJER, about 300 grams. I also bought tofu to mix with those GENJER.
Well, this recipe is again a spicy recipe because I have to adjust to my husband's taste. My husband and I are both spicy food enthusiasts. So, for those of you who can't handle spicy food, you can replace chili puree with tomato puree and use pepper for a slightly stronger taste.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 300 grams of genjer / yellow velvetleaf
- 200 grams of tofu
- 50 grams of red chilies
- 5 cloves of shallots
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 kaffir lime leaves
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon of salt to squeeze the genjer
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- 50-100 ml of water

SERVING!
Serve this genjer side dish with rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. I also added crispy cassava chips for extra sensation. :)
Although GENJER has been squeezed, when cooked they will look like they have returned to their original shape because they are like elastic foam :)
Well, thank you so much for reading, and maybe, you can see my garden activities through my Youtube video. See you!

We don't have genjer here that I know of. I'm always amazed by your vegetable recipes lucky you and husband who get to eat it. It looks very tasty by seeing its colorful appearance.
True ma'am. I'm not familiar with the vegetable GENJER.. Is the vegetable has the same taste with water spinach??
It seems that in your country there are many more varieties of vegetables than in my city, I have to admit that I had no knowledge about GENJER
I'm glad you had the opportunity to cook this vegetable and that you enjoyed it very much with your husband.

The first thing that came to my mind when I read genjer was the vegetable ginger 😅. It turns out that it was different, and I am not familiar with it haha. Upon seeing there was tofu and chilies on it, I already knew it yummy and delicious. I hope I had the chance to taste it :))
Cooking is an art, and you easily show us that with your recipes. Such a nice work!
I never heard about this vegetable... but local food always has some amazing memories and taste 😄
