NOTES : From: Indonesian Cuisine by Haryati Zucchi Posted by Joell Abbott
6/94 " the classical Javanese sauce, Bali, is used to flavor many main
ingredients... This sauce is probably as old as Javanese culture itself.*
In fact the sauce is produced by simple flavorings, such as ripe chilies,
and tomato which give the sauce its blazing red colour, then spiced with
scented lemon grass and ginger; a small amount of coconut cream & sugar is
added to give a delicate flavour to the dish." H. Zucchi, 1989 *(As chilies
all originate from New World plants, this is the statement of someone
simply proud of her heritage and not a scholar of foods. Javanese culture
goes far back beyond the trading days of the 16&1700's)
