Javanese Dinner

• 3 cups cooked rice, served hot (1/2 cup cooked rice per serving)
• 2 cups chopped cooked chicken, served hot
• 2 cups chow mein noodles
• 2 cups gravy (gravy recipe ( 2 cans cream of chicken soup mixed with one can of water and heated through)
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups green peppers, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
• 20 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 cups gravy (same recipe as above)
• 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 6 maraschino cherries

1. Line up the above ingredients, in given order, in serving bowls on a counter or buffet table. Your guests take a plate and begin building their "dinner" using the rice as the base, sprinking on as much or little of each layer, finishing with a cherry on top! We were always encouraged to try every layer, leaving off no more than 2 in case there is something you are allergic to or just do not like. It is amazing how good this is and fun to make.
