Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Red shallots (bawang merah) 4 cloves
Garlic (bawang putih) 1 clove
Ginger (jahe) 1 piece (about 1-inch)
Galangal (laos) 1 piece (about 1-inch)
Lemongrass (sereh) 1 stalk
Kaffir lime leaves (daun salam) 2 leaves
Red chili (cabai merah) 2, sliced
Coconut milk (santan) 1 sachet (approximately 200ml)
Eggs (telur) 4
Potato (kentang) 1, peeled and diced
Firm tofu (tahu putih) 2 pieces, diced
Water As needed
Salt To taste
Sugar To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing the potato thoroughly, then peel and cut it into small cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil.

  2. Add Aromatics: Once the water is boiling, add the blended mixture of red shallots and garlic into the pot. Then, add the bruised lemongrass, galangal, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, and sliced red chilies. Allow the flavors to meld together as the potatoes cook.

  3. Incorporate the Eggs: When the potatoes are halfway cooked (approximately 10-15 minutes), gently crack the eggs into the pot, ensuring they are distributed throughout without breaking too much. This will help them cook evenly without clumping together.

  4. Add Tofu: Once the eggs are cooked, gently fold in the diced tofu, allowing it to warm through and absorb the delicious flavors from the broth.

  5. Finish with Coconut Milk: After all the ingredients are cooked, pour in the sachet of coconut milk and stir gently. Season with salt and sugar to taste, adjusting according to your preference.

  6. Serve: Allow the dish to simmer for an additional few minutes to let the flavors combine, then remove from heat. Serve hot, enjoying this rich and comforting dish as part of a larger meal or as a hearty standalone dish.
