Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 stalk green onion
  • 1 beef sausage
  • 5 beef meatballs
  • 1 chicken egg
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 candlenut (kemiri)
  • 5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Cooking oil (as needed)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Seasoning (optional)
  • Beef liver (cut into cubes)
  • Optional: fried shallots and chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Meat:

    • Slice the cauliflower into small florets, peel and slice the carrot, and chop the green onion. Rinse all the vegetables thoroughly.
    • Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
    • Crush the black pepper and candlenut together into a fine paste.
  2. Cook the Aromatics:

    • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent.
    • Add the minced garlic and the black pepper-candlenut paste to the pan. Stir until fragrant.
  3. Add Flavorings:

    • Season with salt and optional seasoning to taste. Incorporate sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor.
    • Pour a little water into the pan to prevent the spices from burning, allowing the mixture to cook and release its aroma.
  4. Combine and Stir-Fry:

    • Add the sliced vegetables to the pan. Stir well to combine with the aromatics. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
    • Crack the egg directly over the vegetables and stir it in, cooking until the egg is well mixed and slightly set.
  5. Prepare the Beef Liver:

    • While the vegetables are cooking, rinse the beef liver and cut it into cubes. Optionally, skewer the liver pieces for easier handling.
    • In a separate pan, heat some oil and cook the liver until it is half-done. Season with a pinch of salt and continue cooking until it is fully cooked through.
  6. Final Assembly:

    • Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking and the egg is set, transfer the Orak-arik to a serving plate.
    • Arrange the cooked beef liver on top or alongside the Orak-arik.
    • Optionally, garnish with fried shallots and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted based on your preferences. Feel free to omit or substitute ingredients according to what you have on hand.
  • For a touch of authenticity, you might include fried shallots and chopped parsley as a garnish.
  • Though it might seem complex, this recipe is straightforward once you start. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious Orak-arik with beef liver!
