Ingredients
- 21 ounces lamb cubed.
- 2 salam leaves
- 1 inch ginger
- 4 cups water
- 2 lemongrass cut in 1-inch lengths.
- ½ inch galangal
- 2-3 bird's eye chili optional, red
- 2 spring onions sliced.
- 2 tomato cut in chunks, medium
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 16.91 fluid ounces coconut milk
- 1.76 ounces cabbage
- 1 ½ tablespoon Sweet soy sauce
Spices to pound:

- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon Coriander ground
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional:

Instructions
- Using a pestle and mortar, or a food processor, grind the spices to pound into a paste. Set aside.
- Rub the meat with ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Bring 3 cups of water to boil then put the meat in the boiling water along with ½ inch of ginger, 1 lemongrass and 1 salam leaf. Cook until the meat is tender. Then drain and discard the water. Set aside.
- In a wok or a cooking pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the pounded spice paste, lemongrass, salam leaf, galangal, ginger until it releases aroma.
- Then add in the meat pieces, sweet soy sauce and 1 cup of water. Give it a stir and let it cook at medium heat.
- Once the gravy comes to a boil, let it simmer for a minute or two. Then put the cabbage, tomato, spring onion and chillies in. Cook further for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk in, stir your Tongseng and leave it to cook and simmer at low heat for a few minutes before you turn the heat off.
Notes
- Some meat can be tough and take time to cook. So you can use a pressure cooker to shortcut the time if you wish.
- You can skip the bird’s eye chillies if you don’t have any.
- If you like your Tongseng to be spicy, you can put a teaspoon of chilli powder.
- You can also sprinkle lime juice over your Tongseng to give extra tangy flavour just like what you may get from the real Tongseng sellers in Indonesia.
