Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Start by boiling the chicken eggs in a pot of water until fully cooked. Once done, carefully peel the shells and set them aside.
-
-
Tofu Preparation: Cut the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces according to your preference. Fry the tofu pieces briefly in hot oil until they are lightly golden. This step helps to firm them up, making them less likely to crumble in the dish.
-
Sauté the Spices: In a pan, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the ground spices mixture (shallots, garlic, candlenuts, and turmeric) to the pan. Sauté the spices until they become fragrant and start to caramelize.
-
Add Aromatics: Once the spices are aromatic, introduce the kaffir lime leaves to the mixture, allowing their flavor to infuse.
-
Simmer the Dish: Pour in an adequate amount of water, stirring to combine all the flavors. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Incorporate the Eggs and Tofu: Gently add the boiled eggs and the fried tofu into the pot. Allow the ingredients to simmer together until the flavors meld beautifully.
-
Finish with Coconut Milk: Gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth consistency. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
-
Season to Taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and seasoning to your liking. Adjust these seasonings according to your preference for flavor.
-
Serve: Once everything is cooked through and well combined, remove the pot from heat. Serve the Sayur Telur Tahu Bumbu Kuning hot, garnished with crispy fried shallots for an added crunch.
