👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the Spice Paste: In a blender or food processor, combine shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal (if using), turmeric, candlenuts, and chilies. Add a tablespoon of water or oil to help blend into a smooth paste. You can also pound these ingredients using a mortar and pestle for a more traditional texture.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Fry Tofu and Tempeh: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat (around 180°C / 350°F). Fry the tofu and tempeh cubes until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Sauté the Spice Paste: In the same wok (add more oil if needed), reduce heat to medium. Add the prepared spice paste and sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the paste, about 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for developing flavor and removing the raw taste of the spices.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Add Aromatics and Coconut Milk: Add the bruised lemongrass, bay leaves, and torn kaffir lime leaves to the wok. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not boil vigorously, as coconut milk can curdle.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Cook the Vegetables: Add the prepared chayote and long beans to the simmering coconut milk mixture. Stir well. Continue to simmer gently, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente), about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and sugar to taste. The curry should be flavorful and slightly thickened.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 6
Assemble and Serve: Slice the lontong cakes into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in serving bowls. Ladle the hot vegetable curry generously over the lontong. Top with the fried tofu and tempeh, and any optional toppings like halved boiled eggs, fried shallots, or sambal.
