Recipe: Melaka-Style Asam Pedas Daging Tetel
Halal | Servings: 3–4 | Time: 45–60 mins
Ingredients:
400g daging tetel (beef trimmings with fat)
5 dried chilies (soaked, deseeded)
3 fresh red chilies
5 shallots
3 cloves garlic
1 thumb ginger
1 thumb galangal (if available)
1 stalk lemongrass (smashed)
2 tbsp tamarind juice
1 piece asam keping (optional but authentic)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Salt and sugar to taste
2–3 tbsp cooking oil
Water (enough to stew the beef)
Optional: daun kesum (Vietnamese coriander) and eggplant or okra
Instructions:
1. Prepare the paste:
Blend dried chilies, fresh chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, and galangal until smooth.
2. Sauté the base:
Heat oil in a pot. Fry blended paste with lemongrass until fragrant and oil rises (pecah minyak).
3. Add beef:
Add daging tetel and turmeric. Stir until well coated.
4. Add liquid:
Pour enough water to cover. Add tamarind juice and asam keping. Simmer on low for 30–45 mins until beef is tender and gravy thickens.
5. Season & serve:
Add salt, sugar, and optional herbs/veggies. Balance the taste — sour, spicy, slightly sweet.
Why it works:
Bold, balanced, and deeply Malaysian
Daging tetel gives richness and body to the stew
Perfect with steamed rice and ulam on the side
Asam Pedas isn’t just a dish — it’s an experience. It brings heat and depth, just like life’s hardest tests. Daging tetel, with its richness, reminds us: what’s tough at first becomes tender with time and patience. May every spicy spoonful bring warmth and resilience to your table.
