Rawon ( Javanese style of black beef soup)



As i said before I'll started to cook more traditional Indonesian food, but very slowly because i still find it hard to grind many ingredients, as well as my time, I'm busy all the time with my daughter, because she always need my attention.
I used to have this soup a lot before, it has a unique taste, because of the special ingredient called "kluwek", they have very black colour. Here is the recipe
Rawon ( Javanese style of black beef soup)

  • 250 gr diced beef

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 50 gr bean sprouts (from mung bean)

  • 3 lime leaves
  • 3 cm galangal,brushed

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 6 eschalots/small brown onion(bawang merah)
  • 1 cm turmeric
