RE: Classic Acehnese Dish Asam Udeung

in Foodies Bee Hivelast month

Never tried anything like this but I know the taste of every ingredient of this dish so I can imagine the result, and I want to try Asam Udeung one day! 😀 True traveling through reading recipes! Thank you for this clear and beautiful post!

For those who aren't familiar with wuluh starfruit aka bilimbi. It's quite common fruit in Thailand growing near houses and in gardens but you usually can't see them at markets or grocery shops. But you can try them in the street right from the tree 😄

People living in Europe who know woods well can be familiar with the taste of the wild plant called wood-sorrel (Oxalis acetosella). That's the same taste. As for cooking, I would substitute bilimbi with unripe plums (Prunus cerasifera) - sour and moderately juicy. 🙂
