Sour Sambal Onion (BRAMBANG ASEM)
BRAMBANG ASAM/ASEM is a typical food Central Java, particularly Solo and Semarang. Keep in mind "Brambang" the Java language of onion, and Asem mean tamarind. Brambang asem indeed typical food in the culinary treasures Soloraya.
This dish is actually simple, just made of sweet potato leaves or JEGLOR-so Solo citizens used to call it. Although jeglor is a major part of this refined, yet distinctive taste of this Soloraya actually located on sambal Brambang Asam. Basic ingredients of chili is what determines the success of this refined alluring tongue. Lately, Brambang asem including food categories that are difficult to find, even in Soloraya once.
As the name implies, Brambang asem has an aroma typical Brambang (onion) in a marinade mixed with chilli paste and of course to add a spicy flavor. How to make "sambal Brambang asem" same as making "Rujak - salad sauce" or other condiment, the difference is Brambang (onion) and paste burned first before use. Brambang taste of tamarind itself is a blend between taste spicy, sour, salty and sweet --- depending on the tastes of the maker.
Brambang asem recipes are practical, as it uses a simple seasoning with sambal Brambang which is usually served with boiled vegetables (usually wear Jeglor / sweet potato leaves, but can be replaced with kale or spinach). Sweet potato leaf texture a little unique because after boiling will be slippery when held and crispy if eaten. This culinary menu of dishes usually found in the city of Solo to Madiun.
Brambang Asem may be quite unfamiliar to most people. Especially for living in West Java or in the outer islands may be somewhat surprised by this dish, because it's usually sweet potato leaves to feed the livestock. But it is precisely in these sweet potato leaves characteristic of Brambang asem, if there is no sweet potato leaves will not be complete --- even not Brambang asem name. Complementary to accompany this culinary usually is GEMBUS BACEM and TOFU STARCH.
Gembus bacem I made yesterday, by placing it on top of the filter ricecooker. This is done to make it more practical and spices to infuse, but do not do it for too long (more than 2 days) because it will make tempeh gembus too soft texture and taste slightly sour.
Vegetables I used to make stuffing know is carrots, cabbage and leeks.

NOTE : Menjes/Gembus is soy-based foods commonly found in East Java, Indonesia. In the area of Malang there are two types of menjes, namely menjes rough texture (called menjes beans) and a finely textured menjes (called menjes rag). Menjes said to be the same as the tempe gembus found in Central Java and Yogyakarta.
Menjes coarse texture made of black soybean or soybean dregs, but there is also a call made from a mixture of beans and soybeans, cassava fiber and soybean meal. Meanwhile, finely textured menjes made from pulp-making tofu and coconut pulp.
These foods usually fried with flour and eaten with chili sauce.

Sambal (Indonesian chilli sauce...extended) Sambal (Indonesian chilli sauce...extended)
I travel to Bali often and enjoy the street food there. My Balinese friend makes a great sambal so I always ask her to make one which is very dry and very very hot which allows me to easily carry it home and add more ingredients and oil before canning it. So I do advise, this is not the original recipe for sambal, this explains what I do to it after I get it home.I like to roast/grill the peppers and take the skin off. The taste is really much better.Once you have finished extending your sambal (at step 7) you can put it in the fridge for immediate use or proceed to preserve it for storage as I did in this case.For canning: If your sambal has any low acid content ingredients it needs to be pressure canned. Otherwise boiling water bath will be ok.My next trip to Bali, my friend has promised to show me how to cook her sambal. I hope I can master this teriffic recipe and share with you. There are many other good similar recipes on this site for you to try. Just search for sambal.

Sambal Kecombrang (Torch Ginger Sambal) Sambal Kecombrang (Torch Ginger Sambal)
We Indonesians love our sambal. There are plenty varieties. Some a bit sour, some a bit bitter, some a bit sweet, but most Indonesians love spicy sambal. My partner and my kids love sambal, but we can't stand too spicy food. So I always remove the seeds from the chili. If you like spicier sambal, do not remove the seeds.Kecombrang or honje is also known as torch ginger. It is the young flower part. If you can't find it, you can replace it with a bit of mint. Kecombrang tastes a bit sour and minty. It also has a fragrant smell.
