Yellow turmeric and coconut rice molded into a cone and served with assorted side dishes for celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef shin
  • 300g fried shallot crackers (krupuk)
  • a handful of minced garlic
  • a pinch of tamarind paste
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 200g bean sprouts
  • a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • a drizzle of lime wedges
  • 500ml coconut milk
  • a pinch of coriander seeds
  • 200g long beans
  • roasted peanuts, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather and prep the jasmine rice and large prawns, measuring everything out so it is ready to go.

  2. 2

    Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced galangal and cabbage, cooking gently until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the large prawns, season with palm sugar, and cook until just done, about 30 mins.

  5. 5

    Warm the jasmine rice alongside, turning once, until heated through and lightly toasted.

  6. 6

    Plate the jasmine rice and spoon the cooked mixture over the top.

Tips

Keep the heat moderate so the large prawns cooks through gently without drying out or turning rubbery.

Prep the jasmine rice and large prawns the night before to make busy mornings much easier.
