Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was a delicious twist on a beef stew. I made this in advance, using kecap manis as my dark soy sauce. My meat needed an additional hour beyond the recommended cooking time to become tender, but it could have been because I was using cheaper stew meat. I ignored the instructions about separately cooking peas (I used edamame) and red onions and just added them to the stew. I cooked the potatoes day of eating, and again ignored the instructions to fry them- instead I pan fried in a non-stick skillet using minimal oil. It was still good.
