During this covid-19 period I seldom went home. I quite miss the food my mother used to cook. Each time I returned home I often cooked my favorite meal. Tempe orek, orek tau, saute kangkung and saute toge. I really like this, especially when it's cooked by my mom.

Since I still could not go home, I cooked this meal. It's very easy, for you who are busy, this meal can be your choice. Before I tell you how to cook it, I'd like to tell you a little bit about this food
