    Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Can substitute dark brown soft sugar for gula melaka, and a mixture of chicken stock cube and MSG for chicken bouillon.

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.

    Great flavour but the sambal recipe is not authentic - it has mint and coriander leaves in it, neither of which are used in Indonesia. More like an Indian chutney. Leave out those and you have a great recipe!
