Rawon
Inky black beef soup coloured by earthy keluak nuts.
About Rawon
Chunks of beef simmer until tender in a near-black broth tinted and deepened by ground keluak nuts, which lend an earthy, almost truffle-like note. It is served with rice, bean sprouts, salted egg and a fierce sambal on the side.
