Eggs 3 (to taste)
Tofu (cut into quarters) 1/4 of a large block
Daun jeruk (lime leaves) 4 sheets
Lemongrass (bruised) 1 stalk
Bay leaves 2 leaves
Galangal (bruised) A small piece
Red bird’s eye chilies 4 (to taste)

Sweet soy sauce A drizzle
Palm sugar 3 pieces
Salt To taste
Coconut milk (Kara brand) 1 package
Ground spices:
Shallots 5
Garlic 3 cloves
Candlenuts 3 nuts
Coriander A pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Wash the beef trimmings (tetelan) thoroughly. Cut the young jackfruit into small pieces and rinse again.
    • Prepare the tofu by cutting it into quarters and frying briefly until lightly golden. Set aside.
  2. Cooking Process:

    • In a rice cooker (using this method ensures a quicker cooking time, but you can also use a pot if preferred), combine the tetelan, jackfruit, ground spices, lemongrass, bay leaves, lime leaves, palm sugar, and enough water to cover the ingredients. Close the lid.
  3. Simmer Until Tender:

    • Allow the mixture to cook until the meat and jackfruit are tender. This process may take about 30-40 minutes, depending on your equipment.
  4. Add Coconut Milk:

    • Once the ingredients are tender, pour in the coconut milk, add salt, and seasoning. Stir gently and close the lid again, letting it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  5. Final Touches:

    • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the red bird’s eye chilies for heat, stirring them in along with a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. Mix until all the flavors are well incorporated.
  6. Serve:

    • Once the flavors meld beautifully, your Gudeg is ready to be served. Enjoy it with steamed rice and your choice of side dishes for a complete meal.
