 NOTES:

 *  A tasty Indonesian dish -- This is a recipe that my mother, Bep, has
 perfected.  I have no idea where the recipe originated from but it is a
 great dish that she has perfected over the years. The leftovers are great
 next day, hot or cold. Yield: serves 4.

 *  Editor's note:  this recipe is unique in the history of
 alt.gourmand in that virtually none of the ingredients is available
 in an ordinary North American grocery store.  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.) The recipe is so delicious that it's worth including even
 though most readers will not be able to find the ingredients to
 make it.

 North Americans can read ground beef for mince beef and bacon for
 middle bacon.  You can make an interesting substitute for this dish
 by using Mexican seasonings instead of Indonesian; the flavor will
 not be at all authentic but some of the spirit is preserved.

 Difficulty:  easy.
 Time:  30 minutes.
 Precision:  approximate measurement OK
