Babi Ketjap (Soy Pork) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
500 pork
1/2 tsp pepper
1 salt
1 onion
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp sambal oelek (hot pepper condiment)
5 tbsp sweet soy sauce (ketjap manis)
150 water
1 margarine or oil
Recipe
Preparation
There are quite a few pork dishes in the book (including another
version of this one). Evidently minorities are well enough
represented that pork has earned a place in the cuisine of
predominantly Muslim Indonesia. I think this would be excellent done
with 1 inch long pieces of baby back ribs. I also won't stew it as
long as I did++or maybe use bigger chunks of pork. I used pieces
between a half and a quarter inch on a side and the meat got a tad
dried out. No complaint on the taste though! I'll also toss in a
couple of scallions cut into one inch chunks just before it's done
stewing. I was out of sambal oelek so I used some tuong ot toi cut
with a little lime juice. Worked good.
Dice Pork, rub in salt and pepper and fry in hot oil or margarine.
Then add the finely sliced onions, spices and the hot pepper
condiment.
After this add the water and the soy sauce. Bring to the boil and
simmer for at least half an hour until the meat is done.
Serve Babi Ketjap on a large plate, garnish with sliced tomatoes and
chopped vegetable pickles. Eat with plain or savory rice or Mei.
From "Indonesian Food and Cookery", Sri Owen, Prospect Books, London,
1986."
For those who aren't familiar with it, Kecap Manis (or ketjap manis)
is a thick, sweet Indonesian soy sauce that does wonderful things for
meat and poultry as a marinade/BBQ sauce as well as a condiment.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one fact that is often overlooked, it is damned hard (although by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carbohydrate diet.
Cutting out carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, kohlrabi, soya and cayenne)
The flavonoids present in these fruits and vegetables are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Specialists researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe they might also have many other benefits to our health, including anti-dermatitis and anti-inflammatory activities..
The majority of these are low in calories, so you should add them to your diet.
