SAYUR LODEH - MALAYSIAN VEGETABLE CURRY (CROCK POT)



Sayur Lodeh - Malaysian Vegetable Curry (Crock Pot) image

One of my favorite Malaysian curries that I have adapted to use more commonly found ingredients here in the US and using the crock pot. It has a delicate flavour and I make it barely spicy for my own tastes. Ground dried shrimp can be found in Mexican markets or you can substitute with a teaspoon of fish sauce. Authentic Sayur Lodeh uses a shrimp paste called belachan, Candle nuts are replaced with macadamia/cashews, and galangal with fresh ginger root. Zucchini is not a vegetable commonly used in this curry but it works well with the flavours of this dish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful vegetables and aromatic spices are essential for a delicious Malaysian vegetable curry. Use coconut milk from a can rather than a carton, as it has a richer flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your taste: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to add more or less of any of the spices depending on your preferences. If you like it hot, add more chili peppers or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of these spices.
  • Cook the curry low and slow: This allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if you have time.
  • Serve the curry with rice or your favorite flatbread: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Malaysian vegetable curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your taste.
