3 candlenuts
3 fingers of turmeric

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blended spices along with the additional ingredients such as bay leaves, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Also, gather the main ingredients.

  2. Sauté the blended spices in a pan until fragrant, then add a glass of water. Stir in the palm sugar, salt, and seasoning, allowing it to simmer.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a pot, let it boil, then gently add the tempe, tofu, and hard-boiled eggs. Allow to simmer, then incorporate the coconut milk and red chilies, stirring to prevent the coconut milk from curdling.
