Sayur asem

Sayur asem is a yummy and healthy dish that comes from Indonesia. It usually has a sour and slightly sweet taste because of the ingredients used.

To make sayur asem, you need vegetables like corn, long beans, chayote, tomatoes, and tamarind. Tamarind is a fruit that is brown and sour. It's like a sweet and sour candy!

You also need some spices, like shallots, garlic, and chili. These will make the dish have a strong and spicy flavor.

First, you need to boil the vegetables until they are soft. Then, you make the soup using tamarind, water, and the spices. After that, you pour the soup on top of the vegetables.

Once everything is mixed together, you can enjoy your sayur asem! It's perfect to eat with rice or by itself.

And that, my little friend, is how you make sayur asem!
