RE: Recipe for "Asinan Sayur" (Indonesian Salad from West Java)
@kobold-djawa what fantastic recipe.It reminds me of an indian pickle called "Achaar" with sweet sour notes.I love tamarind great in chutneys.I so have to try the shrimp paste like yourself i have fish sauce so could use that instead.This would be great for bbqs as a side.Love crunchy raw vegg.Thanks for sharing your fab recipe! ♥️
Oooh, we have dishes called "Acar" too, it's really similar but it uses onion/Shallots instead of garlic, so it tastes slightly different. And the chilis wouldn't be ground but we use whole chilis or cut it into halves. And normally we use rawit for that.
Funny thing.. we have something similar to this here in the Philippines that's called atchara. Instead of cabbage, the main ingredient is green papaya. Almost similar to the Thai green papaya salad, but not spicy at all... it's more on the sweet side.
I think many asian countries have similar cuisines. So it does make sense that we have nearly the same food. However, there is also a dish called Acar.
I think, papaya salad could be very spicy too. It always depends on the taste.
4 chilis considered common for this in Thai or Indonesia, but for some people , especially western it is really a lot, most of them coulnd't handle it. :-D
See i love shallots and garlic i would have to use both of the ingredients together.lol.Will have too google that.You should check my latest post put a simple pakora recipe i think you would love it, it would go great with your pickle.
Oh i wanted to ask did you try the biryarni recipe i posted for you?
