Cook and serve a complete and delicious Indonesian menu effortlessly - with Go-Tan Cook & Go!

My family is from Indonesia, so they talk about good food all the time. Within the Asian culture this is a very social event. While enjoying meals together, precious moments and good memories are created. That's why our family business always uses the best ingredients and the most delicate recipes.

The original Indonesian cuisine is elaborate. Many fresh herbs are roasted, grinded and crushed and mixed in 'Boemboes'. These are used as a marinade or as cook-in sauce in many dishes. Although we have been producing easy-to-use Boemboes for decades under our brand Go-Tan, we improved the recipes and made it even easier with the new jars 'Indonesian cooking Sauces', for vegetable and meat dishes. Without artificial flavorings and flavor enhancers. These sauces let you create delicious and authentic Indonesian dishes, and are produced with fresh spices and herbs..

For a complete Indonesian experience, one should serve a variety of dishes on the table. To do so effortlessly, I invented Cook&Go, of which the manual and cooking guide you are reading now. With this cooking set and mini simmer pans you have a unique tool to create a surprisingly delicious Indonesian menu, while still having time for your guests, family or friends! And afterwards, the mini simmer pans and lids can be cleaned in the dishwasher...

The basic use is simple; you cut the fresh vegetables and meat, which are put separately in four of the mini simmer pans. Then add a variety of a Go-Tan cooking sauce in each pan. Fill two pans with the (microwaveable) rice with a bit water. Switch on the cooking set, stir occasionally and for 30-40 minutes you can drink en relax together with your guests. Then you can serve the four dishes with the rice and you have a complete menu for 4-6 persons!

All the required products for Cook&Go can be available in supermarkets, but also through our web shop www.cookandgo.nl !*

Try all the Boemboe Cooking sauces, order an extra Cook&Go set for a friend or find other nice oriental cooking and table accessories!

The Cook&Go concept represents very well the brand values of Go-Tan: Creating precious moments with friends or family, while enjoying delicious Asian food.

Selamat Makan, or bon appétit!

Shopping guide and preparation

The simple Cook&Go concept means cooking vegetable and meat dishes in the four mini simmer pans with a Go-Tan Boemboe cooking sauce. You can also use the jars partially for 1-2 person dinners because after opening the sauces can be stored for another 7 days in the refrigerator.

So in addition to the Boemboe sauces you will need fresh, (pre)cut vegetables, fresh meat and a meal base like (microwaveable) rice. And optional Indonesian side dishes and condiments such as prawn crackers, chilli paste (Sambal), sweet soy (Ketjap Manis) or fried onions (see further below for details).

• In a pan, you can add approximately 300 grams cut vegetables or 400 grams diced meat with a whole jar Go Tan Boemboe cooking sauce (305 grams).
• Fresh ingredients should be cut to approximately 2-3 cm thickness or length.
• Various types of vegetables can be combined in one pan.
  • Guideline for the quantities: vegetables, 120 grams

and 140-160 grams of meat per person.

• Consequently, two full pans of vegetables and two full pans of meat are suitable to more than 5 persons and with an additional or dessert even for 6 people.
• Frozen vegetables can be used, but it gets more water in the dish and the vegetables will be less firm.

The Boemboe cooking sauces are available in 9 variants (where available): 3 vegetable dishes, 2 meat dishes, 3 dishes for chicken and 1 for pork meat. You can form your own menu by combining two vegetable and two meat dishes. Below all different Boemboe cooking sauces described. Of course you can also try switching or using other ingredients, the sauces are just fine spice mixes.

BOEMBOE cookingsaus	Recommended ingredients	Full description of the spice mix
Sayur Vegetables Vegetables	Cabbage, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, fennel, shrimps, tofu cubes	A light creamy sauce for vegetables. The creaminess is due to added coconut milk. For a very authentic accent pieces of tofu or shrimp can be added to the vegetables.
Chop Suey Vegetables and meat	Broccoli, bell peppers, cabbage, red onion, snow peas, courgettes, mushrooms, bean sprouts, tofu cubes, chicken	A meat and vegetable dish which has found his place in each oriental cuisine. An Asian accent without overshadowing the fresh ingredients. Also suitable for meats.
Sambal Goreng Vegetables	Beans, cabbage, carrots, onions, leeks, tofu cubes, boiled eggs, shrimp	‘Goreng’ means fried or frying. When sambal is fried, the crushed chilli peppers will get a softer but deeper flavour. Together with onions and other typical Indonesian herbs, such as lemon grass and tamarind it forms a classic spice mix.
Rendang Beef	Stew beef	Something special happens when tender beef is cooked while marinated with fine red peppers, coconut milk and exotic spices. It is sweet and round, but spicy. Also an Indonesian classic.
Rudjak Chicken or beef	Chicken breast, chicken thighs Stew beef	An intense Boemboe. A nice mix of fresh fragrant ingredients (lemon grass and lime leaves), spicy red peppers and the sweetness of laos, ginger and brown sugar.
Babi Ketjop Pork	Pork fillet, pork chops, streaky bacon	There is almost no better combination than soy sauce, onions and pork. Especially if the subtle flavour is balanced with a pinch of cloves.
Ayam Semur Chicken or beef	Chicken breast, chicken thighs, small chicken legs (authentic) Stew beef	Typical for a Semoor dish is a base of onions, garlic and soy sauce, balanced with laos and cloves. Together this will creates harmonious and rich sauce.
Ayam Paniki Chicken	Chicken breast, chicken thighs, small chicken legs	Fresh-spicy, subtle creamy Boemboe for chicken with a rich flavour. The herbs, chicken and sauce are really a fascinating dish while simmered a longer time.
Ayam Pedis Chicken	Chicken breast, chicken thighs, small chicken legs	Literally spicy chicken. A spicy chicken Boemboe, the base of onions, red pepper and ginger are a fine combination with the light flavours of lemon grass and lime leafs.

Side dishes

To complete the Indonesian rice dinner table all of the following side dishes are suitable (from Go-Tan):

• Go Tan Rice Specialities microwaveable rice (1 bag is for about 2 persons), varieties Coconut Curry, Chinese Mushroom and Lemon Coriander.

  • Sambal Oelek (Red Chilli paste)
  • Atjar Tjampoer (Indonesian pickles)
  • Fried onions (delicious with rice or noodles)
• Seroendeng (roasted coconut with peanuts, delicious on rice or rice noodles)

Additional preparation tips

• The following simmering times are minimum indicative times: vegetables, chicken and pork 30 min, beef 45 min. Longer times are good for a rich taste, but vegetables will become softer.
• Hard fresh vegetables such as green beans; prepare by cooking 2 minutes in water.
• Place very thin vegetables such as bean sprouts, thin cabbage later into the pan.
• Add as much cooking sauce into the pans so that the ingredients are just covered.
• If you want to have a thicker sauce, remove the lids of the pans while cooking.
• Choose the position of the pans in such a way that the pans containing the meat will get the most heat and really can simmer gently

- When you have leftover's, let it cool down and store in the refrigerator, when you heat it up the next day, it will taste even better!
