Rawon isn’t just popular amongst East Java people but also popular in all of Indonesia
What Rawon is
Rawon is a kind of soup that is made from a mixture of ingredients and herbs and filled with beef
and the color of the soup is black
Rawon is a typical dish of East Java and is said to be called authentic food because it does not mix with foreign cuisine
For information, Indonesia is very rich in culinary variety because there is a lot of cultural mixing that creates a variety of extraordinary dishes
even said that Rawon is the oldest cuisine in East Java that has existed since the 10th century
Rawon is always made of beef and the soup is black
This is because the main ingredient of Rawon is Kluwek fruit
Kluwek fruit is boiled together with a sauce containing beef broth which is also used to boil beef
So that it creates a unique taste that is not found in other dishes.
complementary menu
the menu is salted egg and boiled bean sprouts also added with prawn crackers
so this food becomes richer in taste
And because Indonesians like spicy food, of course, there must be sambal available
but if you don’t like spicy food don’t worry because the sambal is separated
Here is how to cook Rawon along with the recipe
By the way, I assume the ingredients are only for consumption by 2 people

- Boil the beef and leg bones until they are half soft. Cut the meat according to taste then set it aside.
2. Add the seasoning and salt to the meat stew.
3. Saute ground spices, galangal, lime leaves, and lemongrass until fragrant and cooked.
4. Put the pieces of meat into the stir fry, and cook until the spices are absorbed.

6. Serve warm with accompaniments.
For additional menus such as salted eggs, bean sprouts, and prawn crackers,
They may not be available in your country, but if there is an Indonesian shop in your city, just try to find them there.
I think all the ingredients for Rawon will be available at the Indonesian shop
maybe even the seasoning for cooking Rawon in packaged form is also available
So you just boil it with the meat, it’s easier and simpler
