This is one of my favorite Indonesian meals. I used to buy the instant seasoning but couldn't find one that taste like the one I used to eat in Indonesia. After a lot of trials, I finally found the recipe I like. There is a lot of chopping work involved in making this meal but the result is totally worth it.
