Creamy Vegetable "Lodeh"

It has been two long years since we last celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri with our families and friends. This year, let’s make the most out of the festivities and what symbolises Hari Raya if not a scrumptious array of delicacies like rendang, ketupat and lemang. This year, besides serving the usual must-have dishes, why not bring something different to the table? Sayur Lemak Lodeh may seem too simple to serve on Hari Raya… but add on some ketupat, anchovy sambal or even peanut sauce and you will go, mmm sedap! In fact people often think lontong and sayur lodeh are the same, but these two refer to different things altogether. Lontong is compressed rice that is wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. It may seem like a lengthy process, therefore many replace it with nasi impit. Sayur lodeh on the other hand is a gravy-based dish that uses coconut milk and a mixture of vegetables. Sayur lodeh is the gravy accompaniment to lontong. With that, you can now clearly tell the difference between the two! Sayur Lodeh is a traditional Indonesian dish that is loved amongst the Java community in Johor. Due to its delectable taste and balanced nutrition, this dish is popular among the Malay community. When it comes to making Sayur Lemak Lodeh, the secret lies in the thickness of its gravy. Therefore, to enhance its flavour, don’t forget to add a pinch of MAGGI® CukupRasa™, an all-in-one seasoning that makes every dish worth remembering. Prepare the ingredients such as onions, garlic, fresh turmeric, dried shrimp, long green beans, carrots, beancurd skin, tofu, fermented soybean, and combine it with MAGGI® Pes Sambal Tumis. There you have it! You can now impress your family and friends with this unique dish during Hari Raya Aidilfitri by simply following this quick and hassle-free recipe. Curious to find out how? Try it yourself!
