Meatballs Stew

Hi!

Been awhile :)

I have not even share my sister's wedding cake that I made yet, I have been busy, but now that I have time, I feel like sharing what I cooked for dinner instead the wedding cake ha-ha :D

I will still share wedding cake some other time, though, as I totally was happy with how the wedding cake turned up :)

The stew below is from Indonesia, and we call it as SEMUR. There are many varieties of semur, from chicken to beef or tofu and egg. One main ingredient in common is the usage of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis).

You can use ready to use meatballs or you can make yourself, I include the recipe too :D
