Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes and Tofu:
Start by peeling the potatoes and washing them thoroughly. Cut them into small cubes and fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside. -
-
Fry the Tofu:
Cut the tofu into small cubes and fry in the same oil until crispy and golden. Once done, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. -
Make the Spice Paste:
In a blender, combine the red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, shallot, garlic, sugar, and salt. Add the tablespoon of cooking oil to help blend the ingredients smoothly. Blend until you achieve a fine paste. -
Cook the Spice Paste:
In a pan, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until the aroma is released and the paste is cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. -
Combine and Simmer:
Once the spice paste is cooked, pour in the water and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly until it thickens. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with sugar and salt as needed. -
Add Potatoes and Tofu:
Gently fold in the fried potatoes and tofu cubes into the sauce, ensuring that they are well coated. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. -
Finish with Green Onions:
Finally, add the sliced green onions and stir until they are just wilted. This adds a fresh crunch to the dish. -
Serve:
Once done, remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish or over a bed of steamed rice. Enjoy your homemade Sambal Goreng Kentang dan Tahu!
