Empal goreng
I would say that empal goreng is a common lunch or dinner food for many of Indonesian. The recipe I post here is just one of the many variations of empal goreng out there.
This particular recipe is very simple because you only need lots of garlic to bring in the taste of the meat. My grandma used to serve it with sop daging (clear beef & vegetable soup) and sambal terasi (shrimp paste chilli) and kecap manis (sweet soy bean sauce). My mom, on the other hand, most often serve it with nasi goreng terasi (spicy fried rice).
Whichever you choose, empal goreng is always good to be eaten with warm rice...
