Kluwek or kluwak or kepayang (Pangium edule) is as the main spice which gives the strong nutty flavor and dark color to the soup.It is fruits of kepayang tree.
The soup is made of ground mixture of garlic,
shallot, keluak, ginger, candlenut, turmeric, red chili and salt sauteed with oil until
it gets aromatic. The sauteed mixture is then poured into boiled beef stock
with diced beef. Lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves and sugar are then added as
seasonings. The special dark/black color of rawon comes from the keluak as the main spice. The
soup is usually garnished with green onion and fried shallot, and served with
rice, hence the name Rawon Rice or Nasi Rawon in Indonesian
language, together with baby bean sprouts, salted preserved egg, shrimp
crackers and sambal chili sauce on
the side.
There are some
restaurants which served Rawon as the main menu in Surabaya, but the most
famous stall (warung) is Rawon Setan (Devil's Rawon). It sounds funny
right?
A popular rawon
dish from Surabaya. The reason behind this nickname is
because the warung (stall) that sells this rawon dish is open
from midnight to dawn just like the time when they say devils come out. The
Rawon Setan stall, is quite popular in Surabaya.
Ok guys, when you coming over to Surabaya, make sure try this food. Have a nice day :)
