Description
Sayur asem — Sundanese/Javanese sour vegetable soup — is the acid counterpart to coconut-based lodeh. Vegetables (corn on the cob, long beans, chayote, peanuts, melinjo leaves, young jackfruit) simmered in a tamarind-soured broth with shallot, garlic, galangal, and chilli. NO coconut milk — this is a CLEAR, light, refreshing soup designed to stimulate appetite and cut through the richness of fried and coconut-rich dishes on the same table.
