It is a variety of the Soto cuisine[1] and is similar to gulai that is usually cooked with firewood in a gentong stove (Javanese for: clay pot). The ingredients include cuts of beef, and cow offal such as intestine, tripes, lungs, etc. cooked with curry-like spices in coconut milk, garlic, chilies, chives (kuchai) and sambal in the form of chilli powder.[2] Empal gentong can be eaten with steamed rice, ketupat or lontong.
