The same as babi rica, I'd call this meal one of my "lazy meals". I cook them in big batches, eat some of them for dinner, keep some in the fridge for the next 2 days dinner and freeze the rest for next week or anytime I don't feel like cooking. The recipe is easy, all you have to do is just dump everything in the pan, wait for 1 - 2 hours and it will be ready! I recommend cooking this over the weekend because it does take some time to cook it.

  • 100 ml Kecap Manis

  • 1 l Water

  1. 1

    Marinate the pork with the lime juice and salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.

    Sauté all ingredients B for 5 minutes over medium heat until the onions are soft.

  3. 3

    Add the marinated pork to the pan, mix and coat the the pork with the chili sauce. Let cook for 10 minutes with a lid on and low heat to extract the juices from the pork.

    The cooking process will take about 1hr to 1hr45, in the meantime add the water 250 ml at a time over medium low heat with a lid on. When you're on your last bit of water, let cook until the sauce reduces and thickens. At this time you should start to see the nice light brown color coating on the pork.
