Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef lung — Ensure that the beef lung slices are thinly sliced for optimal crispiness. Marinating the slices for a longer period of time will enhance the flavor.
- Tamarind paste — If you can't find tamarind paste, you can substitute it with lime juice for a tangy flavor.
- Roasted peanuts — For added depth of flavor, you can roast the peanuts yourself before blending them.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a few slices of fresh red chili peppers to the peanut sauce.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder in the marinade and the peanut sauce.
- Serve the Dendeng Paru with a side of Indonesian pickles for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.
- If you can't find beef lung, you can substitute it with beef or chicken slices for a different variation.
- Make sure to fry the beef lung slices in small batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Serving advice
Serve the Dendeng Paru as a main course, accompanied by steamed rice and a side of fresh vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness and visual appeal.
Presentation advice
