Introduction
Here’s a great summer BBQ treat, Sateh Babi (Skewered Pork), from the original Bali Restaurant in Amsterdam that appears in A Treasury of Great Recipes.
This establishment was famed for bringing Indonesian cookery to the Netherlands, and this skewered pork recipe comes from that now-closed restaurant and makes excellent use of the Javanese soy sauce ketjap benteng (although ketjap manis is a fine substitute).
Best served with steamed rice and other rijsttafel (rice tables) dishes.
Steps
Cut pork into cubes
