This recipe, with its aromatic blend of spices and sweet-salty sauce, promises a unique culinary experience that’s sure to please your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of beef tripe (cut into pieces and cleaned)
- 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 8 tablespoons salty soy sauce (kecap asin)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups water
- Oil for frying
Ground Spices:
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef Tripe:
- Begin by heating a small amount of oil in a pan. Once hot, fry the cleaned beef tripe pieces until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté the Spices:
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil and sauté the ground spices until fragrant. This will release their aromatic oils, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Add the fried beef tripe to the pan with the sautéed spices. Stir well to coat the tripe with the aromatic spices. Then, pour in the salty soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
-
Cook the Dish:
- Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. For those using a pressure cooker, seal and cook for 10 minutes. If you’re not using a pressure cooker, simply cover the pot and let it simmer until the tripe is tender, which may take a bit longer.
-
Finish and Season:
- Once the pressure cooker has cooled and you can safely open it, drizzle in the sesame oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning; if you find it lacking salt, add more salty soy sauce. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more sugar. Once the flavors are balanced to your liking, remove from heat.
-
Serve:
- Your Kikil Sapi Masak Kecap is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve hot with steamed rice or as part of a larger Indonesian feast. This dish pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and a crisp salad.
