Instructions

Rendang

  • Brown meat
  • Turn onion, garlic, chilies and candlenut into a fine paste
  • Mix all ingredients into an instant pot
  • Pour wet ingredients and season
  • Choose stew (if you'd like abundant broth to produce 2 kinds of curry with the recipe, use exact measurement of wet ingredients above - requires 2 cookings, instant pot and stovetop. If you only want to make caramelized rendang only, use lesser amount of wet ingredients)
  • Take out meat from instant pot, place into a pan
  • Pour some of the broth into the pan (leftover broth on instant pot can be used to cook a new batch of curry, e.g chicken curry)
  • Continue cooking until no broth left and meat separate super easily
  • Cool to room temperature before using or storing

Lemper

  • Rinse glutinous rice
  • Place into a rice cooker
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients
  • Let the rice cooker does its magic
  • Mix/fluff rice once cooked
  • Dump half of the rice into a rectangular container/baking pan, lined with clingwrap
  • Pat well to firm and nice layer
  • Top with shredded rendang
  • Top layer with another rice, again pat well
  • Let cool completely, or chill overnight, before slicing
  • Slice and enjoy :D
