Membuat Lontong Dengan Beras Bungkus Plastik Khusus
Pastikan anda membeli beras dalam bungkusan yang memang dikemas dng plastik khusus yg dapat digunakan utk proses pemasakan/tidak berbahaya bagi kesehatan. Saya kurang tahu, tapi mungkin beras bungkusan jenis ini juga bisa dibeli di supermarket di Indonesia. Saya sertakan contoh fotonya di postingan ini. Tolong jangan membungkusnya sendiri dengan plastik lembaran biasa karena plastik biasa tsb akan mengeluarkan zat beracun bagi tubuh saat dipanaskan. Bila anda tidak bisa mendapatkan beras yg memang sdh dibungkus dlm plastik khusus tsb, lebih baik anda membuat lontong dng daun pisang saja walaupun agak merepotkan didalam proses pembuatannya.
Bahan
- 2 bungkus Beras plastik, 1 st Garam - 3 Daun Pandan (opsional) *
- 2 Daun salam, Air secukupnya - ½ Daun pisang-potong2 (opsional) *
Cara membuat
- Blender daun pandan & 200 ml air. Saring air pandannya ke dlm wadah & sisihkan.
- Cara 1: Masukkan bungkusan2 beras, garam, air pandan, daun salam & potongan2 daun pisang ke dalam panci yang cukup tinggi. Tuangi air yg cukup banyak utk merendam semuanya. Masak selama ± 1½-2 jam, tambahi air panas bila air di panci berkurang.
- Cara 2: Masukkan bungkusan2 beras, garam, air pandan, daun salam & potongan2 daun pisang ke dalam rice cooker. Tuangi air hingga ketinggian ± 3/4 dari tinggi rice cooker ukuran besar. Masak selama ± 1-1½ jam.
- Keluarkan lontong dari panci/rice cooker & biarkan mendingin sebelum dipotong2 & dihidangkan.
* Penggunaan air pandan & potongan daun pisang ditujukan agar didapatkan warna kehijauan & wangi dari daun2an tsb seperti bila membuat lontong dng daun pisang.
