KERAK TELOR
Kerak telor is a traditional Betawi (native Jakarta) dish in Indonesia, made primarily from glutinous rice, duck or chicken eggs, dried shrimp, and shredded coconut. It's a flavorful and aromatic street food dish typically enjoyed during festivals or special occasions. Here's a recipe for making kerak telor:
Ingredients:
- 200g glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 3 duck or chicken eggs
- 50g dried shrimp, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
- 50g roasted unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
- 50g shredded coconut (fresh or desiccated)
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Glutinous Rice:
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain well before using.
Cook the Glutinous Rice:
- Place the soaked and drained glutinous rice in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Steam over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and tender. Remove from the steamer and set aside.
Prepare the Toppings:
- In a dry skillet, toast the shredded coconut over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
- Add the soaked dried shrimp to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until they are slightly crispy.
- Add the ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, beat the duck or chicken eggs until well combined.
Cooking Kerak Telor:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a traditional clay pan (kepang) over medium heat. Grease the skillet lightly with oil.
- Pour a portion of the beaten eggs onto the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin omelette-like layer.
- Sprinkle a portion of the cooked glutinous rice evenly over the egg layer, followed by a portion of the prepared shrimp and spice mixture, chopped peanuts, and toasted shredded coconut.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, and the egg is set.
- Carefully fold the kerak telor in half or roll it up.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional kerak telor.
Serve:
- Serve the kerak telor hot, garnished with extra shredded coconut, sliced chili peppers (if using), and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Enjoy your homemade kerak telor!
