Instructions
-
Blend the spices: Using a blender or food processor, blend together the curly red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, and candlenuts. Leave the lemongrass, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves aside.
-
Prepare the proteins: Fry the chicken livers, gizzards, pete beans, and hard-boiled eggs separately in a little oil until they are golden brown. After frying, set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
-
-
Sauté the spices: In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary. Sauté the blended spice paste until fragrant and slightly thickened. Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves to the mixture.
-
Combine everything: Add the fried chicken livers, gizzards, pete beans, and hard-boiled eggs to the pan with the spices. Stir gently to coat everything evenly with the spice mixture.
-
Season to taste: Add salt, ground black pepper, ground coriander, sugar, and magic seasoning (if using). Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Stir well to ensure the flavors are well combined.
-
Simmer and serve: Allow the dish to simmer for a few minutes, ensuring the flavors are absorbed by the ingredients. Once done, remove from heat and serve with warm rice.
Notes:
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer chilies based on your heat tolerance.
- This dish is perfect for pairing with steamed jasmine rice or as a side for a larger meal.
