• 4 red bird’s eye chilies

• 4 cloves of garlic
• Salt (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spice Paste:

   • Blend the red bird’s eye chilies, curly red chilies, shallots, and garlic together until smooth. Add salt to taste and set aside.

2. Mix Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the mashed tofu, finely sliced scallions, and corned beef. Mix well.
   • Add the prepared spice paste to the bowl along with the beef bouillon powder. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
   • Stir in the eggs until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

3. Wrap the Mixture:

   • Cut the banana leaves into square or rectangular pieces. To make the wrapping easier, briefly soften the banana leaves over an open flame or in a hot water bath to make them pliable.
   • Take a piece of banana leaf and place about 3 tablespoons of the tofu mixture onto the center of the leaf. Fold the edges of the leaf to enclose the filling and secure it into a neat packet.

4. Steam the Pepes:

   • Arrange the wrapped packets in a steamer. Steam over boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until the tofu is cooked through and firm.

5. Serve:

   • Carefully remove the pepes from the steamer and unwrap them. Serve hot, and enjoy the aromatic and savory flavors of this traditional Indonesian dish.
