Ideal for a comforting meal, this dish is both flavorful and easy to prepare. Let’s dive into the details of making this traditional recipe that combines simple ingredients into a delicious, satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 pieces of firm tofu, diced
  • 5 red bird’s eye chilies, sliced
  • 2 red curly chilies, sliced
  • 4 candlenuts
  • 3 shallots
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
  • 1 segment galangal, smashed
  • 4 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 300 ml water
  • Salt, sugar, ground black pepper, and flavor enhancer to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Boil the eggs and potatoes separately until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
    • While the eggs and potatoes are cooking, prepare the tofu by dicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Create the Spice Base:

    • In a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the shallots, garlic, and candlenuts until you achieve a smooth paste.
    • Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the spice paste, lemongrass, and galangal. Sauté until fragrant and the paste has slightly caramelized.
  3. Build the Sauce:

    • Add the sliced red bird’s eye chilies and red curly chilies to the skillet. Continue to cook for a minute to release their flavors.
    • Stir in the sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and pour in the water. Mix well.
  4. Combine and Simmer:

    • Season the mixture with salt, sugar, ground black pepper, and flavor enhancer according to your taste preferences.
    • Gently add the boiled eggs, diced potatoes, and tofu to the sauce. Stir to coat all ingredients with the sauce.
    • Allow the stew to simmer over low heat until the sauce is absorbed and slightly thickened, and the flavors meld together. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the sauce has reduced and the ingredients are well-coated, remove from heat.
    • Serve the Semur Kentang Telur Seadanya hot, and enjoy this comforting dish with steamed rice or on its own.

This recipe captures the essence of Indonesian home cooking—simple yet bursting with flavor. Perfect for a cozy family dinner, Semur Kentang Telur Seadanya is a testament to how humble ingredients can be transformed into a rich, satisfying meal. Enjoy!
