About Tongseng

Tongseng is a flavorful Indonesian stew originating from Central Java, often made with goat meat, though beef or chicken can also be used. This traditional dish combines tender meat with a rich, aromatic broth crafted from coconut milk, sweet soy sauce, and a blend of spices such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, and coriander. Shredded cabbage, tomatoes, and green chilies are typically added, providing a mix of textures and nutrients. Tongseng is a high-protein dish due to the meat content and contains vitamins and fiber from the vegetables. However, its rich coconut milk base and sweet soy sauce contribute to higher levels of saturated fat and sugar, making it moderately calorie-dense. Enjoyed in moderation, Tongseng can be part of a balanced diet while offering a taste of Indonesia’s rich culinary heritage.
