I've never seen it with green papaya before, but that's be great too.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-29715578132784969542013-06-25T13:31:12.278-07:002013-06-25T13:31:12.278-07:00I also put deep fried shallots & shredded gree...I also put deep fried shallots & shredded green papaya on top of the final products.

For kecap manis, you can substitute with dark soy sauce with a bit of sugar. I'm gonna try making the turnip cake again. Bought the daikon and it's sitting in the fridge.

It was set and cut into cubes. Served in chicken soup with a bit of fried ground meat topping and cilantro. <br /><br />I'm going to try your recipe, minus the onions to see if I can replicate that old favourite.Kits Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332023182209074607noreply@blogger.com
