Semur

A really easy and quick to prepare dish is semur. It is not spicy; chili being served on the side for those who like it hot.

Ingredients most often used are chicken, tofu (tahu) cut in approximately one inch cubes, sliced fermented bean curd (tempe), and rice vermicelli (so-on).
Vegetarians could substitute the chicken with a product like shiitake mushrooms or mock duck, which is based on tofu. It comes in a tin, made in China (both the artificial duck and the tin).

Use a wok to fry (either in butter or oil) one sliced onion, garlic according to taste, three or four cloves (cengkeh), one inch of cinnamon (kayu manis), a pinch of salt, pepper, one third tea spoon full of ground nutmeg (pala).
Then add the chicken or the vegetarian substitute and the slices of bean curd and let it all simmer until the chicken meat turns brownish.
Add water, three spoonfuls of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) then the cubes of tofu and one cube of chicken broth. Let it simmer more until the chicken is well done. Continue to add water to keep the chicken under.

Next, dip or rinse rice vermicelli in hot water, then add it to the semur.

Semur is served with steamed white rice
