Hari Raya recipe: JW Mariott Hotel Jakarta’s ‘pindang iga Palembang’ JW Mariott Hotel Jakarta's version of "Pindang iga Palembang." (JP/I.G. Dharma J.S.)

T

hose who are already familiar with semur (stew in soy sauce) but want to cook something slightly different may want to try JW Mariott Hotel Jakarta’s pindang iga Palembang recipe, as introduced by executive chef Gyula Harangi in our video.

The dish resembles semur for the way it uses sweet soy sauce, but takes a different turn by using tamarind water added with spices.

Those who want to follow the hotel’s recipe are advised to select beef ribs that are neatly cut at the supermarket. For a faster cooking process, home cooks may also use a pressure cooker for approximately 30 minutes.

Another tip is to add sweet soya sauce or sugar, as well as other forms of seasoning near the end of the cooking session to have better control over the taste of the dish. (kes)
