Brilio.net - Vegetable urap, as one of the traditional dishes, is often served at certain events because of its delicious and fresh taste. To make it more filling, vegetable urap can be served with side dishes such as quail eggs or braised tempeh. Currently, finding vegetable urap outside is quite difficult, so many people choose to make it themselves at home. The process of making it is quite easy, by steaming various types of vegetables until perfectly cooked, then sprinkling it with urap seasoning consisting of ground spices and grated coconut.
However, some people have difficulty because the urap seasoning does not absorb perfectly and the urap vegetables quickly go stale. This problem can be solved in the right way. A YouTube user with the account name DAPUR TEH WIWIN shared a tutorial on making urap vegetables so that the seasoning is absorbed, cooked perfectly, and does not go stale quickly.
First, wash and cut the various types of vegetables that will be used. In the video, the vegetables used are long beans , spinach, carrots, cabbage, and bean sprouts. Once done, collect the vegetables in one container.

Instead of steaming them, this netizen actually boiled all the vegetables. According to him, this method makes the vegetables really cooked perfectly when served. No need to boil them for too long, so that the nutrients in the vegetables do not disappear.
"Stir, lift, then drain," he said as quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube DAPUR TEH WIWIN on Saturday (4/1).

On the other hand, prepare the urap seasoning. Puree 2 cm of galangal, 3 pieces of cayenne pepper, 4 cloves of garlic, 1.2 pieces of shrimp paste, 2 pieces of lime leaves, and 8 cloves of shallots. Once done, saute the ground spices until cooked and the aroma comes out.

After the aroma is fragrant, then add the grated coconut, stir until evenly mixed. To make it tastier, don't forget to add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of granulated sugar. If the urap seasoning has dried, add the vegetables that have been boiled into the pan. This process aims to remove the remaining water content in the vegetables. As a result, the urap vegetables do not go stale quickly when served. Turn off the stove and serve the urap vegetables on a plate.

Tips for choosing the perfect coconut for urap seasoning.Choosing the right coconut greatly affects the taste and texture of the urap seasoning. Choose a coconut that is not too old or young, ideally grated coconut from a medium coconut. Coconut that is too old will make the urap seasoning feel oily, while one that is too young will make the seasoning less flavorful. Also make sure the coconut is still fresh and does not smell rancid. Before mixing with the spices, briefly roast the grated coconut until slightly dry but not until it changes color to reduce the water content and make the seasoning last longer.
A variety of seasonal vegetables for a more special urap.Although there is a standard vegetable mix for urap, you can be creative with seasonal vegetables that are currently available in the market. In the rainy season, add young cassava leaves or pumpkin shoots for a different touch of flavor. In the dry season, kale and basil can be fresh choices. Remember to adjust the boiling time for each vegetable because the level of ripeness varies. Harder vegetables such as cassava leaves need to be boiled longer than soft vegetables such as spinach or bean sprouts.
