Samba Randang, Unique, Cuisine, and Original Culinary From Minangkabau in Indonesia

Assalamualaikum.wr.wb 

Diversity of West Sumatra if the pan is very much the uniqueness of this Minangkabau culture. In terms of regional architecture, food, musical instruments, traditional dances and many more in fact that is rarely known to the public. Starting from general knowledge, I want to review a little about the cuisine of the Minangkabau or person is often called Padang cuisine. Maybe everyone knows about the taste of the cuisine of this field which has its own characteristics. Where where there may be food waste, even in foreign countries can be encountered in the cuisine of this field.

RENDANG or call Randang Minangkabau society. One of the traditional cuisine that is unique in terms of shapes and how to cook it. Although the cuisine of the Minangkabau hereditary called traditional cuisine, culinary Randang material is not cheap. In the sense of the word for the material cost of manufacture is also quite expensive today. Starting from the meat, the materials, to manufacture a fairly long duration. Can  untill time 6-7 hours to cook in sizes 2 to 4 pounds of meat.

Ordinary Randang presented when there are certain events such as weddings, or large events in West Sumatra. Reviewed when cooking is not as easy as we imagine. Place cooked it is not the same as us when we used to cook food that is cooked. Since cook using gas stoves will not produce the original taste of this Randang. Therefore, in needing a place that is wide enough also from the regular kitchen size. "Cauldron" (where the frying pan) are large and bulky and "furnace" a place to cook with wood.
 
What makes this unique from cooking Randang when about to enter the meat, which he said included a spoon so that the meat is not easily destroyed. Because begun from scratch cooking spices, pots should be stirred continuously until finally cuisine ready to move. Randang cooked up to look like charred meat. This is what makes this a unique cuisine with its own flavor. So anyone who does not know the cuisine field this one. This recipe was sent down only by word of mouth. There is no manual or similar tutorial in the study. If you want to know how to manufacture the original, it must learn to direct to his native people.
 
So there are other areas that claim cuisine from West Sumatra say this in their local cuisine. But whatever was said, Randang keep people Minangkabau cuisine. No one can imitate like the taste of that produced by the Minangkabau.
