Indonesian Mums Try Each Others Rendang

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

None. None of these women were Indonesian, were they? They used words like "belacan" and "gula melaka," which are Malaysian Malay terms, and no Indonesian would put shrimp paste and sweet soy sauce in a _rendang_ and we wouldn't make that kind of wet and sloppy _rendang_ either because we take traditions seriously.

[@shahesfelazi8549]

@@KilanEatsandDrinks no Malaysian would put belacan in rendang .... That is not rendang. And I would agree most of the rendangs do not look like rendangs. Find Malaysians and Indonesians who can cook rendang. Come on, the Brits colonised Malaysia for so long, there are Malaysians in the UK who can cook a proper rendang. Please do us justice!

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

@@shahesfelazi8549 well that lady Jenny did indeed put shrimp paste in her so-called “rendang” and she was the one who said "belacan" and "gula melaka" so she is obviously Malaysian.

She was the one that said that having lemongrass was a good thing, but then she also criticised the dish for having too much lemongrass. She criticized the dish for having a gravy and then said she likes the idea of having sauce with it and it makes it not as dry, which I think is funny. She confuses me. Also, she doesn't seem to be able to correctly pronounce the name of the dish, which is rendang. She says Run Dang. That's just very British of her. 😂

Someone who is from Padang which Rendang originates from.. I truly feel ashamed.. all 3 of them dishes you cannot even call them Rendang.. no one ever uses soya sauce, Terasi/Shrimp paste/belacan in their Rendang.. 🥲 these are such bad examples of such an amazing tasting Indonesian dish.. 😩

[@MississippiJapan]

Please, tell us here how it should truly be prepared. I'm genuinely curious.

[@kaekaeoshi69]

​@@MississippiJapan Rendang have 2 kind of spices, softened spices (with blender/food processor) (garlic, shallot, turmeric, galangal, ginger, curly chili, large red chili, white pepper) and whole spices (bay leaf, lemongrass, galangal, galangal leaves, cinnamon, clove, lime leaves) The steps: Saute the softened spices until fragrant, then add whole spices until the unpleasant odor is gone, add beef (use topside) stir well and cook until the outer part of the beef turns brown and greasy. Add coconut milk and stir well. Add sugar, salt, msg, then simmer it in low heat until dry (need 7-8 hours and stirred over time) There is 2 version of rendang: true Rendang have dark brown color and dry texture. Kalio, rendang that cooked faster so the coconut milk isn't evaporate wholly, the color is brown and have thick sauce

[@MississippiJapan]

@@kaekaeoshi69 thank you for sharing!

[@kuronyankosan]

Are the Indonesian moms here in the room with us? 😭 None of them sound like they're Indonesian based on the ingredients they used and the way they pronounce certain words (sounds more Malaysian)

[@nykoserina2156]

Minangkabau here My mother had taught me to make original rendang which is cooked on high heat until cooked, then left for 8 hours straight on very small heat while occasionally lift-stirring to avoid burning. The beef always turn out tender with lots of that beloved signature thick-moist coconut sauce which we lovingly call "dedak randang". Thanks for letting me share 💕

[@LosAnggraito]

Indonesians often alter recipes based on the the country they've moved to. Also, you can't expect them to "sound" a certain way after years of living abroad -- migrant Indos exist.

[@baidewayzone3115]

Three of them failed to make rendang.. Rendang not used soy sauce, shrimp paste even a sugar in it.. The sweet thing you taste only came from coconut milk and the meat inside.. The rendang should look lil bit dry not much water coz you should drying it to make it last longer.. And we not used pressure cooker to make it.. It should mix it with slow cooker techinque for almost 6-8 hours until it dry

[@Shirokuma15]

Which Indonesian mom who says Rendang as "Randaaang" so awkward..🤣🤣

[@herurochadi494]

Rendang berasal dari kosa kata Minangkabau yaitu "Randang". Bagi lidah orang2 bukan Minangkabau, untuk ucap kata Randang, lidah agak kaku. Maka, lama lama mereka ( orang2 non Minangkabau) mengucap menjadi " Rendang". Randang dari kata "Me randang" yaitu proses memasak santan dalam waktu yang lama hingga menjadi warna coklat kehitaman.

[@DeveusBelkan]

@@yogi_gs Yeah but like she said, she's been cooking the dish for British people who prefer it more saucy, so she probably knows but at this point when people ask for a rendang she probably just defaults to kalio because she knows that is what they will want more.

That's because they're some kind of loose interpretations of rendang. The original rendang from Padang tends to be quite uniform. When I went to Singapore or Malaysia I thought their rendang doesn't really taste like rendang.

But again, why would you put shrimp paste in a _rendang_ people? 😵‍💫 I can imagine all the Minangkabau cooks shaking with anger watching this. Also, we wouldn’t describe _rendang_ as a curry because we have a distinction when it comes to the two. They’re probably Malaysian or Singaporean seeing how they disrespect the dish.

Nah, mom's the best. 'Nuff said, fragrant, berlemak, manis and comforting because it tastes like home. I don't usually see much dried spice in rendang, cinnamon at most but usually fresh aromatics like galangal, daun kencur, daun limau, ginger, shallots. Shafali's rendang recipe seems interesting, not my go to, but interesting, she also has a misunderstanding of what rendang is, there's multiple ways to approach rendang and can be either basah or kering, not necessarily dry dry. Typically it's cooked dry because it's meant to be keep for longer in days past but there are wetter versions of rendang based on where the recipe has travelled to within the Indo-Malay region, but not wet like Jenny's, never seen a rendang that wet either. Also, no fresh grated coconut! Only caramelised desiccated coconut, aka kerisik! You want your rendang to spoil fast you put your grated coconut, otherwise, no.
