Asinan Betawi
Also known as: Betawi Asinan, Jakarta Vegetable Asinan
A Betawi vegetable and tofu salad in a thick peanut, chilli and vinegar dressing.
About Asinan Betawi
Ade UFi presents this Asinan Betawi as her late mother’s family recipe, passed on through Mama Ayu. It combines vegetables, fried potato and white tofu with the thick peanut dressing she distinguishes from Asinan Bogor.
Peanuts give the dressing a rounded, nutty richness. Red chilli and orange bird’s-eye chilli bring heat, balanced by vinegar, sugar and salt.
Cabbage, cucumber and bean sprouts contrast with the fried potato and tofu. Yellow noodle kerupuk is the selected accompaniment from the author’s alternatives, adding a crisp element alongside the dressed mixture.
