Have I mentioned my absolute favorite food from Indonesia? It’s rawon! Indonesia has a lot of tasty food but rawon is definitely my favorite!
Rawon is a delicious beef soup that has a rich, dark broth thanks to kluwak, a unique black nut that adds an earthy flavor. It’s loaded with tender beef and aromatic spices, plus it’s often topped with telur asin—those tasty blue salty duck eggs that give an extra savory kick to it!
Rawon is a very beloved Surabayan dish. You can rawon find everywhere in Surabaya! This hearty beef soup, with its rich, dark broth, is a local favorite. Whether you’re at a street stall or a cozy restaurant, every bowl is a delicious adventure!
If you want to try making rawon at home, you’ll need beef, bean sprouts, salted eggs, and kluwak. It’s totally worth the effort! But if you’re short on time, a rawon spice mix works too. Give it a go!
