Indonesian Pork-Babi Pangang
This Indonesian pork dish has as many variations in the Netherlands as hamburgers and pizza's do in America. This is my own variation, with the biggest difference that I add chili oil or paste to it. Babi Pangang is supposed to be a sweet spiced dish, not hot. The ginger, garlic and lemon juice are also often left out. Serve with rice and an Indonesian vegetable dish or as part of a Rijsttafel. Do use shoulder chops, you will need that bit of fat which they have. I do realise this sounds strange, but I also like this finely chopped in a salad stuffed pita with tzatziki. Prep time does not include marinating time.
