- Begin by washing the tofu (tahu) and tempe thoroughly, then cut them into your desired shapes.
- Slice the shallots (bawang merah) or mash them finely along with the coriander (ketumbar).
- In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil, then add the sliced shallots, daun salam, gula merah, gula pasir, ketumbar, garam, tofu, and tempe.
- Stir well while gradually adding the kecap manis, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully. Cook until the water has absorbed into the tofu and tempe.
- Once the seasonings have fully infused, remove from heat and drain the excess liquid.
