Ingredients:

• 10 pieces of yellow tofu, cut into triangles
• 2 cans of coconut milk (Santan Kara)
• 3-4 bay leaves (daun salam)
• 1 piece of galangal (laos), sliced
• Salt to taste
• Sugar to taste
• Sasa seasoning (optional)
• Royco beef seasoning (optional)
• Cooking oil for sautéing
• Sufficient water

Spice Blend:

• 10 curly red chilies (cabe keriting)
• 5 bird’s eye chilies (cabe rawit)
• 10 shallots (bawang merah)
• 5 cloves of garlic (bawang putih)
• 3 candlenuts (kemiri)
• A piece of turmeric (kunyit), about the size of a finger

Instructions:

1. Fry the Tofu:
   Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from oil and set aside.

2. Prepare the Spice Paste:
   In a blender or food processor, combine the curly red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, shallots, garlic, candlenuts, and turmeric. Blend until smooth.

3. Sauté the Spice Paste:
   Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.

4. Add Seasonings:
   Stir in the salt, sugar, and optional Sasa seasoning. Add the bay leaves and galangal slices. Cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Simmer with Tofu:
   Gently add the fried tofu to the pan. Pour in enough water to cover the tofu, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook until the tofu is heated through and has absorbed some of the flavors.

6. Incorporate Coconut Milk:
   Slowly pour in the coconut milk, stirring gently to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the tofu is well-coated.

7. Add Royco Seasoning:
   If using, add Royco beef seasoning and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or sugar if needed.

8. Finish and Serve:
   Once the tofu has absorbed the flavors and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice or as a side dish.

Enjoy your Sayur Tahu Aku, a delightful Indonesian-inspired dish that’s both savory and satisfying!
