Steps:
- To make the Nasi Kuning, first, make sure to rinse the rice beforehand. Now, pan-fry whole galangals, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and grate some turmeric.
- After the spices are slightly charred, add coconut milk and water. Add salt and pepper to taste
- Then, strain the spices and herbs out. Use the liquid to steam the rice on the rice cooker.
- Next, let’s make the Ayam Kuning. First, blend all the spices into a paste (except bay leaves and lemongrass).
- Heat some oil on a saucepan, sauté the seasoning paste until fragrant, along with whole bay leaves and lemongrass. Then add in coconut water then bring to a boil.
- Add in vegan chicken cutlets and simmer for up to 15 minutes.
- After cooked, take the ‘chickens’ out and strain from the liquid. Reserve the liquid for further use.
- Heat oil for deep frying. Deep-fry the chickens until golden brown.
- Secondly, let’s make vegan Perkedel by boiling peeled potatoes until tender to mash.
- Mash the potatoes along with chopped celery leaves, nutmeg powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mould the mashed potato into thick flat circles.
- Mix in cassava flour and the reserved liquid until it forms runny egg consistency.
- Dip in the moulded mashed potatoes into the ‘egg’, then deep-fry the Perkedel until golden.
- Lastly, let’s make the Tempeh Orek.
- Cut 1 tempeh block into thin slices (Batonnet cuts). Deep fry these tempeh on medium heat until crispy.
- Then, Sauté minced garlic and shallots on a wok. Add in kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and sliced chilies. Continue stirring until fragrant (don’t let the garlic burnt).
- Add in crispy tempeh, and continue stir-frying.
- Dilute palm sugar and tamarind using the reserved liquid, pour into the stir fry.
- Cook until all the liquids evaporate and crispy caramelized tempeh remains.
