RAYA LAGI - LONTONG SAYUR PADANG

Lontong has become a popular EID MUBARAK dish among Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian and Brunei. Different countries have different ways of preparing lontong. This morning I made Lontong Sayur Padang for breakfast.

Lontong Sayur Padang consists green jackfruit curry, beef rendang, eggs balado (hard boiled eggs in balado sambal), red crackers and balado cassava crakers. 

The different between lontong sayur Padang and lontong sayur Malaysia mainly lies on the "bumbu" / pounded ingredients used, the condiments and vegetables.

Walau pun lontong merupakan makanan Nusantara tetapi setiap negeri mempunyai caranya tersendiri. Menariknya tentang lontong sayur Padang ialah nangka muda merupakan bahan utamanya. Cara membuatnya lebih kurang memasak masak lomak nangka tetapi untuk lontong sayur ini saya memasaknya secara menumis.

Lontong Sayur Padang biasanya dimakan bersama rendang, telur berlado dan kerupuk. Biasanya keropok ubi.
