Belimbing Wuluh is a home-cooked dish with an authentic flavor. The distinctive sour belimbing wuluh makes the dish more special when cooked with various vegetables. A bowl of this asem vegetable soup is a common vegan dish enjoyed with warm white rice by people in regions like ours. This soup is usually served at lunchtime with family.

This recipe is inspired by a family recipe; my older sister often makes this broth. She uses the star fruit from my yard in this soup. It is then made into a delicious sayur asem (star fruit vegetable soup) served in a bowl when dining with family. My family and I are very familiar with this kind of dish. In my opinion, star fruit has the perfect level of acidity, which is quite similar to a tomato. However, the sourness of star fruit is more pronounced than that of a tomato, which makes it incredibly delicious when cooked in a soup like this.

Next, boil the long beans and the star fruit, then add the chilies and shallots.

The Result

Tara!!!

Look at the result—it's very tempting, isn't it? It's perfect to enjoy while it's still hot during the cold season. My tip is to cook the vegetables until they're just tender; this way, you can still feel their crunch and enjoy their unique flavor. The broth's natural sour, savory, and sweet taste from the fresh vegetables makes it even more delicious. At first glance, this tamarind sour vegetable dish seems very simple, but in my opinion, its taste is truly spectacular.

So, for those of you who want to enjoy vegetables in a way other than soup, try making this asam vegetable dish. I guarantee you'll be hooked and will definitely make this recipe again and again.
