Why I call my sayur asam ga asam? Because I didn’t use the tamarind itself :p Naah it’s ok, it was enough to satisfy my craving for this kind of vegetable.
– 100 gr beef cube for the stock
– 100 gr green bean cut
– 1 can corn
– 1 carrot cut into stick
– 3 shallots sliced
– 2 garlic sliced
– 1 red chili sliced
– 2 tomatoes (because I didn’t use tamarind so this to make up the tangy flavour)
– 2 salam leaves
– 1 tbs ground candlenuts
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp sugar
– 1 cm galangal
– 1/2 tsp terasi
– Boil the beef with water in a pan.
– Add all the spices until the stock is boiling again.
– Add vegetables, start with the hard vegetables first so it won’t be mushy at the end.
ps: for real sayur asam add little bit of tamarind juice made from tamarind dissolved in water.
