Tofu Rendang with Coconut Sugar: Savory, Spicy, and Perfectly Balanced

Rendang, a traditional Indonesian dish renowned for its rich, savory, and spicy flavors, is usually made with meat. However, this time we’re giving it a healthier twist by substituting the meat with tofu. What makes this recipe unique is the addition of coconut sugar, which provides a natural sweetness that balances the intense flavors of the rendang spices.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of tofu, cut into large cubes
• 200 ml thick coconut milk
• 3 kaffir lime leaves
• 2 stalks of lemongrass, bruised
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 cm galangal, bruised
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon tamarind water
• Cooking oil for sautéing

Ground spices:

• 8 shallots
• 5 garlic cloves
• 4 large red chilies (adjust to your heat preference)
• 3 candlenuts, roasted
• 2 cm ginger
• 2 cm turmeric

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Fry the tofu cubes until they are golden and slightly crispy on the outside. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Spices: Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and sauté the ground spices until fragrant. Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Stir until the spices are well-cooked and aromatic.
3. Cook the Rendang: Pour in the coconut milk and mix it well with the sautéed spices. Add the coconut sugar and salt. Cook until the coconut milk boils and thickens.
4. Add the Tofu: Gently stir in the fried tofu, making sure it’s well-coated with the rendang sauce. Simmer over low heat until the tofu absorbs the flavors.
5. Perfect the Flavor: Add the tamarind water to bring a slight tang to the dish. Continue to cook until the rendang sauce releases its oil and turns a deep, rich color.
6. Serve: Transfer the Tofu Rendang with Coconut Sugar to a serving dish and enjoy it with steamed white rice and fresh vegetables.
