Ingredients

• 3 packs Indomie instant noodles (soy-free variety)
• 2 cups Beef or chicken stock
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 Shallots, minced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Lemongrass stalk, white part only, smashed
• 2 Lime leaves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Galangal, minced
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kaffir lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil and add the Indomie noodles. Cook for 3 minutes or until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the minced ginger and galangal, followed by the smashed lemongrass, and lime leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and stir well to coat the aromatics.

Step 5

Pour the beef or chicken stock into the pan, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the coconut milk, brown sugar, lemon-lime juice, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked noodles into the rendang sauce, tossing to ensure the noodles are thoroughly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Serve the soy-free Indomie rendang hot, garnished with extra lime leaves or fried shallots if desired.
