Recipes with thinly sliced shallots
This Sweet and Spicy Dry Tempeh offers a harmony of textures: tempeh fried until dry and crispy combined with peanuts and crispy anchovies—each bite delivers a satisfying crunch. The sweet touch of brown sugar and sweet soy sauce blends with the warmth of spices like shallots, garlic, and fresh chilies, then enhanced by the distinctive aroma of bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. The slowly thickening sweet and spicy spices coat the tempeh, peanuts, and anchovies with layers of flavor full of character: fresh, warm, spicy, and sweet in one unforgettable deliciousness—perfect as a companion to warm rice or a delicious snack anytime.
Stir-fried Beef with Bitter Melon presents a contrasting blend of savory and bitter flavors: gently seasoned beef blends with bitter melon, which, after being cooked, retains its distinctive hint of bitterness. The crunchy texture of the bitter melon and the tender slices of meat create harmony in every bite, while shallots, garlic, and ginger add a warm, appetizing aroma. This dish is considered healthy and quick to prepare, but requires extra attention to the process of pressing and sautéing the bitter melon to avoid an overly bitter taste and to prevent overcooking the meat.
Stir-fried eggplant with minced meat is a dish where sliced eggplant is sautéed with minced beef/chicken, garlic, shallots, and chilies until fragrant. Add sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, and a little water, and cook until the eggplant is tender and the spices are absorbed. The result is a savory-spicy dish with a soft eggplant texture and rich meat flavor.
Telur Bacem is a traditional Javanese dish featuring cooked eggs in a sweet and savory sauce. It's made by boiling eggs in a mixture of sweet soy sauce, brown sugar, spices such as coriander, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and bay leaves, then cooking until the sauce reduces and the eggs are completely absorbed. The result: rich, brown eggs that are perfect as a side dish with warm rice or as a casual snack.
