O que uma panela de rendang ensina sobre tradição | Ariff Zin | TEDxSingapore Youth

O rendang de carne bovina, que certa vez foi eleito o melhor prato do mundo, é o ponto de partida desta palestra do TEDxSingapore Youth, apresentada por Ariff Zin. Ele faz parte da terceira geração por trás do Rumah Makan Minang, um restaurante tradicional de nasi padang em Singapura. Ele descreve como a família automatizou as longas horas de mexer a panela e reinventou a forma de servir o prato. Com base no merantau, tradição minangkabau de deixar a casa para aprender e voltar para retribuir, ele defende que a tradição não morre quando muda, mas quando deixa de ser reinventada.

• Automatizar o preparo do rendang e servi-lo de novas formas
• A tradição minangkabau do merantau
• Modernizar a cozinha familiar de nasi padang

Beef rendang was once voted the world’s best dish, yet few people know where it comes from or what it stands for. From automating its hours of stirring to wrapping it in a tortilla, Ariff Zin has reinvented how his family’s rendang is made and served. Drawing on merantau, the Minangkabau tradition of leaving home to learn and returning to give back, he makes the case that tradition doesn’t die when we change it, but when we stop reinventing it. Ariff Zin is part of the third generation behind Rumah Makan Minang, one of Singapore’s most enduring heritage nasi padang establishments. Trained at the Culinary Institute of America, he is modernising the family kitchen. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
