Lidah Sambal Hijau (Lidah Lado Mudo): Beef Tongue in Green Chilli Marinade

Lidah Sambal Hijau/Lidah Lado Mudo: Beef Tongue in Green Chilli Marinade

Grow up in a Minang neighborhood make me have a sweet spot of Minang culinary. I love the savory Nasi Padang and enjoy the sweet bubur sampiun thoroughly. However, beef ongue (lidah) is one of my favorite Padang dishes. Some people are feeling reluctant to cook tongue because cleaning the whitish upper layer of the tongue (mucous layer) can be time consuming. But here I will explain how I clean it easily.

The cooking consists of two steps: processing the beef tongue and make the sambal hijau (lado mudo in Minang language)
