Jengkol: Indonesian Extreme Smelly Food but Also Tasty Food

Many people see this food as horribly as people see durian, especially people who are not native to Indonesia. In fact, there are also many Indonesian people who do not like this food.

For me, Jengkol remains a decent food to try even after eating it I have to make tricks so that I don't have bad breath.

Jengkol cooking techniques also affect the odor produced. The more skilled at cooking jengkol, the smell of Jengkol can not be smelled at all.

I will share with you the Semur Jengkol recipe even though this sounds extreme to you.

Ingredients

• 500 grams of Jengkol
• water to boil Jengkol
• 2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Blended spices:

• 5 cloves of garlic
• 3 grains of onion
• 3 candlenuts
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 2 clove grains
• 5 cm turmeric
• 3 cm cinnamon
• The nutmeg is roughly crushed
• ½ teaspoon of pepper
• 20 g of Javanese sugar
• 2 teaspoons of salt

How to make:

• Boil jengkol without peeling jengkol.
• After boiling the jengkol, drain the jengkol, beat or crush until slightly flattened.

This technique is at the same time to get rid of jengkol skin easily.

• Then, stir-fry the spice paste until fragrant.
• Enter jengkol, stir well.
  Pour 250 ml of water and bring to a boil over low heat.
