Ingredients

1 pack of  The Spice Tailor Indonesian Rendang
1 head romaine lettuce or ½ iceberg lettuce, leaves left whole
120g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
100g firm tofu, chopped

Inspiration

This is one of our favourite meal ideas. Our take on rendang-inspired lettuce wraps uses firm tofu to soak up all that delicious flavour resulting in a fresh, vibrant meal. You can have it as with rice for a main or serve the vegetables in lettuce as a delicious starter.

Method

Step one

Cook the Rendang spices and sauces as per the instruction on the pack until you reach a dry consistency. 

Step two

Meanwhile, in a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil and gently brown the tofu for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned. Add a small splash of soy sauce and simmer for another minute. 

Step three

Add the rest of the vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. 

Step four

Remove the chilli and other whole spices from the Rendang sauce and stir into the vegetables. 

Step five

Spoon into the lettuce leaves and serve garnished with some julienned carrot.

Made with our delicious indonesian rendang

Rendang is a true piece of culinary magic with a fascinating history. It is a delectable, rich and layered Indonesian dish, typically featuring slow-cooked, melt-in-the-mouth beef. Our Indonesian-style Rendang is flavoured with spices, roasted coconut and tamarind for mouth-watering results.

Delicious with chicken, mushrooms, tofu, eggplant, lamb or duck.
