释义

名词

  1. 在新加坡，隆东指的是椰汁杂菜（sayur lodeh），并且通常搭配米糕食用。也写作“隆冬”。
  2. 隆东也可单指椰汁杂菜中的米糕。

DEFINITION

Noun

  1. In Singapore, lontong most commonly refers to a coconut-milk-based vegetable dish (sayur lodeh) served with steamed rice cakes. Also written in Chinese as “隆冬”.
  2. Lontong may also refer to the rice cakes themselves.

由来
  • 印尼语 lontong 的音译，原是米糕的意思。
  • 在隆东的浓汤中一般会加入胡萝卜、包菜、长豆及豆干。这些配料会放入用咖喱粉、香料、柠檬草及椰浆煮成的汤汁一起烹煮。最后，在米糕上淋上大量的浓汤，加上一个全熟水煮蛋，一把炸椰丝和些许参峇辣椒酱即可享用。
  • 制作隆东的米糕得先用香蕉叶把白米卷成筒状形或柱形，固定扎紧后放入沸水烹煮。与它类似的马来粽（ketupat）同样源自印度尼西亚，也常作为主食与隆东浓汤一起搭配食用。与隆东的米糕不同的是，它是用嫩椰叶将白米扎成菱形，再放入沸水中煮制而成。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “隆东” is the transliteration of the Indonesian term lontong, a type of compressed rice cake.
  • Carrots, cabbage, long beans, tofu and other vegetables are cooked in a rich, coconut-milk-based gravy, which is seasoned with curry powder, spices, lemongrass and coconut milk. The ingredients and gravy are then poured over rice cakes, and served with a hard-boiled egg, some fried grated coconut and a dash of sambal chilli.
  • Lontong rice cakes are made by wrapping white rice into a cylinder in a banana leaf, and securing it tightly before cooking it in boiling water. Lontong are similar to the Malay rice cakes known as ketupat. Both originated from Indonesia, and can be paired with lontong gravy. Ketupat, however, are wrapped in young coconut leaves woven into a diamond-shaped casing. Like lontong, they are cooked in boiling water.
