Hello everyone
How are you today ? I hope and pray, we are all always given health and also happiness in living this life. This time, I'm back to come and participate in the Plant Power (Vegan) Community to share recipes for plant based dishes which of course are easy to duplicate and also delicious.

Do you know about katuk leaves? katuk leaf or which has the Latin name Sauropus androgynous, is a plant that grows a lot in Indonesia and also countries in Southeast Asia. Since ancient times, katuk leaves have been used for various purposes such as food and medicine. I also have a katuk leaf plant in my house, some neighbors often come to ask for some leaves for natural medicine purposes.

Mothers in Indonesia will always know katuk leaves. Katuk leaves are believed to facilitate breast milk and also provide good nutrition for breast milk. I don't know if it's true or just a popular health myth. But one thing I do know, katuk leaves are very easy to process into a delicious dish.

Katuk leaves have the same taste as other vegetables, katuk leaves are usually cooked by boiling with boiling water and then salt is added to give it a taste. I have a katuk leaf dish recipe, which I want to share with my friends, namely Katuk Leaf Soup with Tofu.

I was taught by my friend to make this dish about 10 years ago. At that time, my colleagues and I were working on one of the islands in Indonesia. At that time, we were so bored because we only ate fried food and never ate vegetables. Finally, my friend saw katuk leaves and made this dish for us. At that time, my friend used real coconut milk but this time, I tried to use instant coconut milk powder.
