Resep Semur Jengkol Betawi
To reduce the strong smell of jengkol (a pungent fruit), soak it in lime water and boil it with kaffir lime leaves; a popular preparation is to braise it, which results in a richer flavor and softer texture.

Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- Boil the jengkol until cooked for approximately 2 hours. Remove the skin, split and flatten. Set aside.
- Saute ground spices, cinnamon and bay leaves until fragrant, then add water.
- Enter the jengkol. Add sweet soy sauce, stock seasoning and salt.
- Cook until tender, cooked, and the sauce thickens.
- 1. Choose old jengkol so it can ripen perfectly. 2. To reduce the smell of jengkol, soak jengkol in ice water (cold water or water with ice cubes added) for one night, before boiling. 3. If you want it to become soft faster, boil the jengkol using the pressure cooker Vicenza Pressure Cooker VP308/8L (See Lazada DISCOUNT). This pressure cooker has a steam and heat pressure control system, so it is safe to use and quickly makes tender jengkol.
