Indonesian Sunday dinners

A spice-island cuisine of pastes and grilling — shallot, garlic, chile and candlenut ground into a base, plus sweet soy and coconut. Rijsttafel is a Dutch invention; the home cooking is simpler and better.

The plans

Indonesian · shellfish
Indonesian Family Supper
A focused Indonesian weeknight menu balancing crunchy, lacquered breaded prawns with fragrant coconut rice and a vibrant peanut-dressed vegetable platter — all finished for immediate service so textures arrive at their best. The meal layers familiar sweet-salty kecap manis, creamy roasted-peanut sauce and a bright quick-pickle to keep every bite lively for adults and children alike.
