Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the labusiam and tempe, cutting them into even-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking. Thinly slice the red onions, garlic, and large chilies, keeping the diced tomato aside for later.
-
For the coconut milk, use freshly grated coconut if available, preparing both thick and regular coconut milk to create a rich flavor profile in the dish.
-
-
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onions, garlic, and chilies until fragrant and golden, adding salt to enhance the flavors.
-
Once the aromatics are nicely cooked, add the diced tempe and labusiam. Cook until they reach a semi-cooked state, allowing their flavors to meld together.
-
Pour in the regular coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. After it reaches a boil, add the thick coconut milk, stirring gently to prevent curdling.
-
As the dish simmers, let the coconut milk reduce until it reaches a desired consistency. Finally, stir in the diced tomato and allow it to soften slightly before serving.
