| Description: |
Dragon babies can be very difficult to handle, even for their mothers so sometimes those little ones have to eat some food to calm them down a bit. An old Indonesian Dragon mother told me that she prepares them Indo Dragon Tjap Tjaj, a healthy vegetable dish with or without a shrimp-trassi-base. After eating this dish, her babies are much better to handle. |

Ingredients: |
For the shrimp-trassi-base: five tiny red onions, three toes of garlic, three hazelnuts, a small piece of fresh finger, 15 small shrimps, one half teaspoon of white pepper and half a cup of cold water (for a non-shrimp-trassi-base, use one cooked potato instead of the shrimps). For the vegetables use one tomato, half an onion, one small leek, two carrots, 10 peas, 10 green beans, 4 baby dragon's teeth (canned baby corn cobs), some cauliflower, one teaspoon of dried garden herbs bouillon (or some other dried soup base) one egg, some oil, some salt and some extra water. |

Preparation: |
Put all the ingredients for the shrimp-trassi-base in a blender (do not forget to add some water) and blend until the ingredients look like porridge. Slice all the vegetables. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (a Chinese wok would be very good), add the sliced onion and tomato into the oil and fry. Add some extra water and fry the carrots and the baby dragon teeth (the corn) for five minutes, add the salt and the dried garden herbs bouillon, then add the rest of the vegetables (use some extra water) and fry for ten more minutes. Add the egg (stir well separately) and cook everything for five more minutes. Serve at once. Best eaten with rice.
