Sayur Tempe, Eggplant & Chicken Livers

Ingredients

  • 5 chicken livers (boiled)
  • 1 block of tempeh (cut into pieces)
  • 1 eggplant (cut into pieces)
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 4 shallots
  • A pinch of coriander seeds
  • 2 roasted candlenuts
  • A small amount of roasted shrimp paste
  • Enough bird’s eye chilies
  • 2 red chilies
  • 1 inch of galangal (bruised)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • Enough palm sugar (or 2 tablespoons of melted palm sugar)
  • 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • Salt and powdered broth to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 500 ml medium-thick coconut milk
  • Water as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Paste:

    • Blend the garlic, shallots, candlenuts, coriander seeds, bird’s eye chilies, red chilies, and roasted shrimp paste into a smooth paste.
  2. Sauté the Spices:

    • Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the spice paste until fragrant.
    • Add the bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Continue to sauté for a few more minutes to release the aromas.
  3. Add Liquid and Seasonings:

    • Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil.
    • Add the palm sugar, granulated sugar, salt, powdered broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to dissolve the seasonings.
    • Once the mixture comes to a boil, pour in the coconut milk. Stir constantly to prevent the coconut milk from separating.
  4. Simmer the Main Ingredients:

    • Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
    • Add the boiled chicken livers, tempeh, and eggplant pieces into the boiling broth.
    • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for a longer time so that the flavors can fully develop and the ingredients can absorb the spices.
  5. Final Touches:

    • Once the ingredients are tender and the flavors have melded together, the dish is ready to be served.
    • Serve hot with steamed rice or as a hearty side dish to complement your meal.

Tips:

  • Ensure to stir the dish occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • The longer the dish cooks on low heat, the more flavorful it becomes as the ingredients absorb the spices.
  • Adjust the number of chilies according to your preferred level of spiciness.

Enjoy your delicious and aromatic Sayur Tempe, Eggplant & Chicken Livers, a delightful fusion of Indonesian flavors that will bring warmth and satisfaction to your table!
