Not today." -- _The Hobbit_ Well, peanut sauce is a main ingredient in the Indonesian cuisine. So here is a full recipe for an semi-Indonesian dinner including peanut sauce. The problem is that the spices that are used are not always widely available. I have a Dutch Store in my vicinety that carries most Indonesian spices (Indonesia used to be part of the Dutch colonies). You could also try Philipinian stores or Chinees stores. ------- Included Message |From: Jaap Vermeulen <jaap> |Date: Sun, 17 Jun 90 22:29:59 PDT |Subject: This is one of the easier indonesian full dishes | | |Also called ``rijsttafel''. |Most unknown spices can be bought at dutch store |(I will tag those with DS) | |components (everything for 4 persons) | |1) White rice |2) Sateh ajam (Broiled pieces of marinated chicken) |3) Sajoer tjampoer (mixed vegetable dish) |4) Atjar ketimoen (cucumber salad) |5) Katjangsaus (peanut sauce) |6) kroepoek oedang (shrimp cookies) | |I tried this myself last sunday, and it was quite tasty. |Most stuff can be prepared ahead of time.
