Chinese cabbage is not a vegetable that is so popular for the Daily Meal, because people are more glance at other Green Leaves like Mustard Greens or Spinach for additional complimentary dishes. But that does not mean that Chinese cabbage has a low delicacy value compared to other green vegetables.

Have you ever known or even eaten Chinese cabbage before? What is the name of this vegetable in your area? In the area where I live, it's named Sawi Putih (sawi means mustard greens; Putih means white).

Popular Chinese Cabbage is served with a stir-fry cooking method, and for other Ingredients wrappers to make Chinese Cabbage Rolls. There is one more popular recipe that I have enjoyed since I was a child. Added White Gravy after Chinese Cabbage is cooked with the stir-fry method.

Apart from adding White Gravy, there is the ingredient that creates a characteristic of this recipe, which is the addition of tempeh. Tempeh With Chinese Cabbage is a perfect blend of my memory, always.

The tempeh texture also plays an important role in adding a wealth of texture to this dish. And the most important thing is nutrients in it.

Meanwhile, for non-plant-based versions, it is usually a small anchovy added to add a more savory taste to Gravy.

Let me tell you something about this dish. This dish is the favorite of my late father. He always wants to enjoy White Rice with Gravy dishes. So this dish is his favorite, with tempeh which must always be there.

I really miss my late father. So when I saw Chinese cabbage in a vegetable shop, I immediately bought it and wanted to cook the dishes that my late father liked.

White Gravy has always been a request for my late father for his lunch. Usually, he will eat this dish when I go home to work for a while. He didn't talk much, but when he asked about his favorite dish, that meant he cared about me. I felt so loved when he asked me to cook for him. Because now, there is no more someone who asks me for cooking this dish. I really miss him. :(

Making White Gravy

I always remember the words of my mother, that to create a favorable White Gravy, use the Candle Nuts. It seems to be savory, it feels creamy, also feels Nutty, Almost Almond-Like Flavor with Milder Version.

So I'm used to using Candle Nuts in every White Gravy Recipe. It's like a secret for the convenience of White Gravy which will not be forgotten, believe in me. :)

Candle Nuts have a unique form, similar to the heart shape. The color is white, sometimes broken white, mostly also yellowish. Have you ever seen Candle Nuts before?

If you don't have Candle Nuts, you can pass these ingredients to make White Gravy. Just use Garlic and another seasoning. Mushroom Stock can help strengthen the feeling while there are no candlenuts.

---

---

To make White Gravy, blend Candle Nuts with Garlic, Red Onion with a little water or you can add vegetable oil.

Because candle nuts have a rather hard texture, it is recommended to soak the candle nuts before blending with other ingredients, then slice them into Small Pieces to make it easier to soften them.
