 NOTES:


 


 *  A tasty Indonesian dish -- This is a recipe that my mother, Bep, has


 perfected.  I have no idea where the recipe originated from but it is a


 great dish that she has perfected over the years. The leftovers are great


 next day, hot or cold. Yield: serves 4.


 


 *  Editor's note:  this recipe is unique in the history of alt.gourmand in


 that virtually none of the ingredients is available in an ordinary North


 American grocery store. However, with a certain amount of difficulty I was


 able to find all of the ingredients in specialty food stores nearby (though


 admittedly I live in a wonderland of ethnic grocery stores and specialty


 markets.) The recipe is so delicious that it's worth including even though


 most readers will not be able to find the ingredients to make it.


 


 North Americans can read ground beef for mince beef and bacon for middle


 bacon.  You can make an interesting substitute for this dish by using


 Mexican seasonings instead of Indonesian; the flavor will not be at all


 authentic but some of the spirit is preserved.
