Author's Notes: This recipe comes from the Time/Life Pacific and Southeast Asian Cooking. I've been unable to find a recipe even remotely resembling it in any other Indonesian cookbook. I like to cross-reference recipes and learn where they came from, but only the Time/Life reporters seem to have found this one. In any event, it's quite wonderful. Not for the faint of heart.
