How to Make Kerabu Taught Kacang Panjang (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Kerabu Taught Kacang Panjang is a vibrant Malaysian salad that celebrates the country’s love for fresh, raw vegetables and punchy local flavors. This dish is rooted in Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, blending Malay, Nyonya, and Thai influences into a refreshing lunch option. Kacang panjang, or long beans, are thinly sliced and tossed with aromatic herbs, tangy lime juice, a hint of fiery cili padi (bird’s eye chili), and crunchy roasted peanuts, making every bite a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Traditionally served as a side or light lunch, Kerabu Taught Kacang Panjang is popular across Malaysia, especially in the northern states like Kedah and Penang. Its simplicity allows local ingredients like lemongrass, bunga kantan (torch ginger flower), and daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves) to shine, creating a salad that is both nutritious and deeply satisfying. This healthy version uses minimal oil and omits belacan (shrimp paste) to keep it vegetarian and lighter, making it suitable for calorie-conscious eaters while still delivering authentic Malaysian taste.
