Wayan’s Easy Balinese Lawar RecipeBy Wil on August 18, 2012
In Bali, we have a word, ‘mebat’, which means something like ‘chopping’ but implies that the chopping
is done with fr iends. What could be fun about chopping? you may ask. Well, ‘mebat’ is more than just
chopping – it’s chopping and chatting… and often dr ink ing, too. Groups of guys will get together to
fine ly chop the meat and spices needed to make lawar, have a few beers or glasses of arak, and
genera lly have a good time.
Lawar (f ine ly chopped meat and spices) is one of Bali’s most famous dishes. There are hundreds of
different recipes for lawar made from any different k ind of meat you can imagine. This is a rea lly
s imple lawar recipe that you can adapt to use with whichever k ind of meat you prefer.
To make lawar, you will need a good knife for chopping and a strong wrist!. In Bali, we use a knife
ca lled ‘be lakas’ (see pictures) which is a very heavy chopper – somewhere between a c leaver and an
axe. I f you don’t have a be lakas to hand, a chinese c leaver will do f ine.
This recipe will make enough lawar to feed 6 hungry people.
Ingredients:
500gr pork be lly
200gr pork liver
2 can green jackfruit
½ a coconut
1 bay leaf
4 kaff ir lime leafs ( f ine ly s liced)
½ a cube of veg stock blended with a cup of water
For Base Genep (spice paste – grind with a pestle and mortar or use a food processor to blend):
A 5cm piece of ga langal
A 5cm piece of tumeric
A 3cm piece of ginger
A 5cm piece of kencur (lesser ga langal)
1 tsp corr iander seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds
½ tsp black pepper seeds
½ tsp white pepper seeds
2 cloves
2 candlenuts

Hi Andy,
Sure, a lot of supermarkets do fresh turmeric now. I f not, an Indian supermarket or shops in Chinatown
should have it.
Lesser ga langal is a bit more diff icult to f ind. We ca ll it ‘kencur ’ but sometimes people ca ll it white
ginger. You can normally get that at Eastwest food which is upsta irs at 57 Char ing Cross Road. Just go in
the front then upsta irs and they have a little sta ll near the back with a ll the Indonesian ingredients you
might need. The tempe is good, too.
Hope this he lps

I love lawar but I eat nonpork lawar when I v is ited Bali last time.
Actually the name of lesser ga langal has been misled to kencur for so long. Kencur and lesser ga langal
are from the same family and quite s imilar taste/flavour. The proper name for kencur is kaempfer ia
galangal or kencur itse lf. However it is a lso known as sand ginger. In Canada where I live now, sand
ginger is common to be found at Chinese markets in dr ied forms.
Hope this he lps. Keep up the good work, Wil and Wayan!

Hi Pepy, thanks for the tip. I ’ve seen it ca lled white ginger and sand ginger here, too. We
normally just ca ll it kencur beacuse we order it in Indonesian or Balinese.
You can make lawar out of loads of k inds of meat. We’ll have a veggie version up soon, too. Actually , I
could probably write a whole post about a ll the different k inds of lawar I ’ve tr ied – everything from duck
to snake!
