LONTONG DISHES. |
| Lon - tong are typical rice cakes from Indonesia. However, this dish is also part of the very diverse Surinamese cuisine. They can be served warm or cold. Salt, to taste, may also be added to the rice during cooking. Instead of plain rice, these rice cakes or patties are usually served with other dishes e. g. beef, chicken or salad. Ingredients: served for 4 persons. 
* 2 (two) cups rice.* 6 (six) cups water. * for wrapping: 10 - 12 inches sheets of aluminum foil. Cooking instructions: Put the 6 cups of water into a large pot and add the rice. Bring it to a boil then lower the heat. Cover the pot and cook until most of the water is absorbed. Then turn off the heat and let the rice cool down for 10 - 15 minutes. Fill 1½ cup with the cooked rice and place it at the edge of the sheet of aluminum foil. Roll it once and fold both edges of the foil, then roll further till the rice log is sealed. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Put the rice log in the pot, cover and cook for 1½ - 2 hours over low heat. Remove the log and let cool down for several hours. Then unwrap the aluminum foil, cut the rolls into ½ - 1 inch slices. Arrange on a plate and serve with other dishes. |
