Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eggs (hard-boiled, peeled) | 4 |
| Potatoes (cut to your liking) | 3 |
| Tomatoes (quartered) | 1-2 |
| Sweet soy sauce | To taste |
| Salt | To taste |
| Sugar | To taste |
| Ground pepper | To taste |
| Spice Paste | |
| Shallots | 4 cloves |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| Candlenuts (kemiri) | 2-3 |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Spice Paste: Start by blending the shallots, garlic, and candlenuts together until smooth. This aromatic mixture will serve as the foundation of your stew.
-
Sauté the Spice Paste: In a large skillet or pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant, allowing the flavors to release, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add the Vegetables: Incorporate the chopped potatoes and the peeled hard-boiled eggs into the pot. Stir gently to coat them in the fragrant spice paste.
-
Season the Stew: Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then add sweet soy sauce, salt, sugar, and ground pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer the Stew: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the stew to simmer until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens, absorbing the flavors—this should take about 20-30 minutes.
-
Add the Tomatoes: In the last few minutes of cooking, add the quartered tomatoes, allowing them to soften and meld into the stew without losing their shape.
-
Final Taste Adjustment: Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce, salt, or sugar according to your preference.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and all the flavors have combined beautifully, remove the pot from heat. Serve Semur Telur & Kentang hot, either on its own or alongside steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
