Empal Daging and Sayur Kunci Bayam

Got the empal recipe from NCC but of course little bit modified here and there.

Empal Daging (Indonesian Beef Jerky)

– 5 garlic mashed
– 2 shallots mashed

– 2 cm ginger, bang with a hammer (to make it a little bit bruised 😛 )
– 50 gr Indonesian palm sugar
– oil for deep frying

Directions:
– Boil the beef in the water and all the ingredients except the oil of course until tender approx 30 mins.
– Take the beef out from the broth and bang it with the hammer until its even thinner 😉
– Put them back in the broth and continue boiling until half the broth is gone.
– Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
