Raditya is standing in front of the class. He is holding a picture of his favorite things.

Hello friends. Today I am going to tell you about my favorite thing. Actually, there are several things in my bed room. There are pictures on the wall, a radio, a computer, a yellow desk lamp, and a blue carpet. There are some other things that I like. I like my pocket camera, red bag and toy cars. But the thing I like the most is this one. It is my cell phone. My father bought it for me last month. It is small. It is white. It has numbers and letters.

I can use it to type and send short messages. I can talk to my family or friends who live far away. It can help me do my homework. I can read a lot of useful information in the internet. I bring it everywhere I go.

Let me remind you of my experience during an earthquake last week. When the earthquake happened, I was in my car. I was driving home from my vacation to Bali. Suddenly my car lurched to one side, to the left. I thought I got a flat tire. I did not know that it was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity poles falling down to the ground, like matchsticks. Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock. Even I could not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left the car and walked along the way to my house, in the town. When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost nothing left. The earthquake made a lot of damage to my town. Although nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was seriously injured.

HOW TO MAKE NASI PECEL

Ingredients

Pecel peanut sauce :

·   250 gram peanuts with skin on (Indonesian: kacang tanah kulit), deep fried or toasted

·   8 red cayenne peppers (Indonesian: cabe merah keriting), boiled (*)

·   4 cloves garlic (Indonesian: bawang putih), fried

·   8 kaffir lime leaves (Indonesian: daun jeruk), thinly sliced

·   2 inch kaempferia galanga (Indonesian: kencur), peeled

·   1 teaspoon toasted shrimp paste (Indonesian: terasi)

·   75 gram palm sugar (Indonesian: gula Jawa), shaved

·   1/2 tablespoon salt

·   2 tablespoon tamarind juice (1 teaspoon tamarind + 2 tablespoon water)

·   enough hot water to thin the sauce (about 2 cups)

Vegetables :

·      Suggested vegetables

·      boiled cabbage (Indonesian: kol)

·      boiled spinach (Indonesian: bayam)

·      boiled snake beans (Indonesian: kacang panjang)

·      boiled bean sprouts (Indonesian: tauge)

·      boiled morning glory/water spinach (Indonesian: kangkung)

·      boiled cassava leaves (Indonesian: daun singkong)

·      raw cucumber (Indonesian: timun)

·      raw basil leaves (Indonesian: daun kemangi)

Instructions

1.    Grind together peanuts, cayenne peppers, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, kaempferia galanga, toasted shrimp paste, palm sugar, and salt with a food processor (or mortar and pestle) until everything comes together into a thick brown mess. It will be pretty sticky and should clump together and you should be able to gather them into a ball or shape into a block. This can be stored in the fridge if you are not going to use the peanut sauce immediately.

2.    To make the peanut sauce, pour tamarind juice and just enough hot water and stir until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness. I am usually happy with about 400 ml of hot water, but some people would prefer a slightly thicker or slightly thinner sauce, so feel free to experiment.

3.    Arrange vegetables in a plate and pour the peanut sauce right before serving. Stir everything together and enjoy.
