About Gulai Daun Singkong
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Anita Jacobson associates gulai daun singkong with the many dishes displayed in Padang restaurants. This selected adaptation uses the kale substitute she recommends, simmered in aromatic coconut curry.
Kale leaves and tender stem portions are selected, washed and drained. Fresno chilies, shallots, garlic, selected candlenuts, fresh ginger and galangal join ground coriander and turmeric in the spice paste.
The paste fries in oil before lemongrass and optional Indonesian bay leaves join it. The greens and water then enter the pan and simmer before coconut milk is added.
Salt and sugar season the coconut broth as it continues to simmer. Optional makrut lime leaves go in at the end, adding the fresh citrus note Jacobson describes.
Steamed white rice accompanies the finished curry. The kale version keeps the leafy vegetable and coconut-sauce combination of Jacobson’s recipe while using her named substitute.
