Kuah pliek is a dish like curry jiwhich contains several kinds of vegetables, the basic ingredient of which is pliek, pliek itself is made from rotten or dried coconut pulp which has been extracted from its oil first, Acehnese people usually take oil from old coconuts, the oil can be used as cooking oil. While the pulp is used to cook pliek vegetables or pliek fish, yes that's how Acehnese people always utilize the ingredients around them.

The process of cooking pliek vegetables is indeed a bit long, but it's okay because the taste of pliek vegetables is very delicious, especially when eaten with salted fish and warm rice, wow, it's really delicious on the tongue of anyone who tries it, you have to try cooking this pliek vegetable, I guarantee you will be addicted and want to cook it again.



Usually, besides vegetables, I also often cook fish with pliek, the seasoning is the same as above, only the vegetables are replaced with fish, you can cook any fish, from tuna, milkfish, tilapia, mujair, I really like cooking using mujair fish, and next time I will also share the recipe for mujair fish pliek sauce, hivers, This pliek vegetable is delicious when enjoyed together while relaxing at sea with the extended family, like our family, where when there is a family recreation event, this pliek vegetable is always cooked together with salted fish and fish with chili sauce.

Thank you hivers who have seen my post this time and see you in my next post
