👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the kluwek: Carefully crack open the kluwek nuts. Scoop out the black paste from inside each nut. Discard the shells. Place the paste in a bowl and soak it in about 1/4 cup of hot water for at least 15 minutes until softened. Mash it into a smooth paste.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Make the spice paste: Combine the chopped shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, candlenuts (if using), and chili peppers in a food processor or blender. Add the mashed kluwek paste. Blend until you have a smooth paste. You may need to add a tablespoon of water to help the blending process.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Sear the beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Add the beef cubes in batches and sear them on all sides until nicely browned. This step adds depth of flavor. Remove the beef and set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Sauté the spice paste: Lower the heat to medium (around 170°C / 340°F). Add the blended spice paste to the same pot. Sauté, stirring constantly, until the paste is fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste, about 5-7 minutes. This process is crucial for developing the complex flavors.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 5
Simmer the soup: Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the bruised lemongrass, sliced galangal, bay leaves, and lime leaves. Pour in the water or beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for at least 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface during the first hour of simmering.
⏱️ 3 hours - 6
Season and finish: Once the beef is tender, stir in the salt and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes uncovered to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 7
Serve: Ladle the hot Rawon into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh bean sprouts. Serve immediately with halved salted eggs, a dollop of sambal terasi, and steamed rice on the side.
