Baru kali ini bikin rujak (tanpa) cingur sendiri, biasanya tinggal nyicipin bikinan temen-temen di Hamburg yg asli Jatim. Kebetulan dapet petis dari jeng Inul. Pertamakali nyoba waktu ke Surabaya bingung juga, kayak pecel tapi ada buahnya..kuahnya agak hitam, tapi rasanya ternyata enak juga. Karena nggak ada yg jualan cingurnya biasanya diganti sama kikil, berhubung yg di rumah nggak mau kikil jadi ya tanpa cingur dan kikil.
Bahan: Tauge, Kangkung, mentimun , tahu/tempe goreng, belimbing, nanas, mangga (lagi nggak punya persediaan jadi cuman pake belimbing)
Bumbu:
2-3 sdm petis/shrimp paste
4 sdm kacang yg sudah digiling
4 siung Bawang putih goreng
2 sdm gula merah
4 buah cabe keriting
1 sdt terasi/belacan
air asam, garam secukupnya
air secukupnya
Cara: Rebus sayuran, buah di potong-potong, juga tahu dan tempe, siram dengan bumbu yang sudah di ulek/dihaluskan.
Untuk: sekitar 4-5 porsi
