9. NOTES:* A tasty Indonesian dish - This is a recipe which my mother, Bep, has perfected.
10. I have no idea where the recipe originated from but it is a great dish which she has perfected over the years.
11. The leftovers are great next day, warm or possibly cool.
12. Yield: serves 4.
13. * Editor's note: this recipe is unique in the history of alt.gourmand in which virtually none of the ingredients is available in an ordinary North American grocery store.
14. 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.)
15. The recipe is so delicious which it's worth including even though most readers won't be able to find the ingredients to make it.
16. North Americans can read grnd beef for mince beef and bacon for middle bacon.
17. You can make an interesting substitute for this dish by using Mexican seasonings instead of Indonesian; the flavor won't be at all authentic but some of the spirit is preserved.
18. Difficulty: easy.
19. Time: 30 min.
20. Precision: approximate measurement OK
