How to Make Kerabu Kacang Panjang with Roasted Peanuts (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Kerabu Kacang Panjang with Roasted Peanuts is a vibrant and refreshing Malaysian salad that celebrates the multicultural flavors of Malaysia. Originating from Malay and Peranakan kitchens, this dish is beloved for its crisp kacang panjang (long beans), aromatic herbs, and nutty crunch from roasted peanuts. Kerabu is a term used in Malaysia for a variety of salads, often featuring local vegetables, herbs, and a tangy dressing, making it perfect for lunch or a light meal. The addition of roasted peanuts not only enhances texture but also adds a subtle richness without overwhelming the palate. This healthy version uses fresh ingredients such as kacang panjang, cili padi (bird's eye chilies), and limau nipis (lime), all commonly found in Malaysian markets. It's a delicious way to showcase Malaysia's culinary diversity, drawing influences from Malay, Peranakan, and even Indian communities, who often adapt kerabu with their own spices and flavors. The combination of lemongrass, bunga kantan (torch ginger), and daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves) delivers an authentic taste that is both zesty and aromatic. Kerabu Kacang Panjang is a great choice for those seeking a nutritious, vegetarian meal that is full of flavor and color, while honoring the traditions of Malaysian cuisine.
