Place of origin Indonesia
Region or state Minangkabau, West Sumatra
Dish details
Course served Main course
Serving temperature Hot or room temperature
Main ingredient(s) meat (beef, lamb or goat), coconut milk, chili, various spices
Variations Chicken rendang, Itiak (duck) rendang, liver rendang
Rendang is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia,[1] and is now commonly served across the country.[2] One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests.[3] Also popular in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Indonesian community during festive occasions. Though rendang is sometimes described as being like a curry, and the name is sometimes applied to curried meat dishes in Malaysia, authentic rendang is nothing like a curry.[1] In Malay classical literature, rendang is mentioned in Hikayat Amir Hamzah[4] as early as the 1550s.[5]
In 2011 an online poll by 35,000 people held by CNN International chose Rendang as the number one dish of their 'World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods' list.[6]

Composition

Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally beef liver, chicken, mutton, water buffalo, duck, or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava) slowly cooked in coconut milk, spices and sometimes kerisik (toasted coconut paste) for several hours until almost all the liquid is gone, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy condiments. The cooking process changes from boiling to frying as the liquid evaporates. The slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender. The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf, lemon grass and chillies. Chicken or duck rendang also contains tamarind and is usually not cooked for as long as beef rendang.[7]

Types

There are two kinds of rendang: dried and wet. Dried rendang can be kept for three to four months, and it is for ceremonial occasions or to honour guests. Wet rendang, also known as kalio, can be found in Minangkabau restaurants, and without refrigeration, it should be consumed within a month.[3]
Rendang is often served with rice, ketupat (Indonesian compressed rice cake), and lemang (glutinous rice barbecued in bamboo tubes) in Indonesia.

How To Make A Clean Nasi Uduk




Nasi Uduk - Scented Coconut Rice
Nasi Uduk is very popular in Java especially West Java and Jakarta areas. It's a Betawinese Scented coconut Rice.


Many people asked me did you make your nasi uduk with a rice cooker or the old style one? Before I answered that question, I will explain first what the old style is. It's an Indonesian traditional way to cook rice, by boiling the rice and water (if you going to make nasi uduk, add spices and coconut milk as well) until liquid evaporates, then move the rice to a on-stove steamer and cook until is done.



My answer is, I make nasi uduk, nasi kuning (yellow rice), bubur (rice porridge) with a rice cooker. I utilize my rice cooker for almost everything, including making lazy soup.

The last time, I made nasi uduk, it came out a bit brown due to the use of coriander. I figured out that I needed to buy a package of muslin bags to put my spices in. Finally, I found the unbleached muslin bags. To find muslin bags is easy, but it's a bit harder to get the unbleached one. However, if you like sewing, you can make the bags by yourself.
