Sweet Soy Tofu and Egg Stew

Semur Tahu Telor (Indonesian Braised Tofu and Egg)

Ingredients:

• 3 hard-boiled eggs
• 1/2 block of tofu, sliced thickly and partially fried
• For the Sauce:
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 shallots, finely ground
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sugar, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Seasoning powder, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • Water, as needed
  • Fried shallots, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • Stir in the sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), seasoning powder (rajarasa), black pepper, sugar, and salt. Adjust the flavor with water to your liking and let it simmer for a few minutes.

3. Combine and Cook:

   • Once the sauce is well-balanced, add the hard-boiled eggs and fried tofu to the pan. Allow the ingredients to cook together for about 5 minutes, so that the flavors meld and the tofu absorbs the sauce.
