Indonesia is made up
of many islands, including Java and Bali, each one has its own
cuisine. There are influences from Indian and Chinese cooking, as
well as from Holland and England. knives and forks are common use,
and chopsticks are used only for stirring food. Food is cooked in
woks, streamers and casseroles, with the ingredients being finely
chopped beforehand. The Javanese dish nasi goreng and the sumptuous
Indonesian rijsttafel are typical, well-known specialties. Fish
abounds in the seas around Indonesia and is an extremely popular
food. Moreover, virtually all the spices in the world flourish on
the islands of Indonesia, and cooks like to make lavish use of them.
The aromas of their dishes are correspondingly varied. Sambals, more
or less pungent spice pastes based on peppers or chilies, are
particularly popular. Palm sugar, coconut milk and sour flavorings
such as tamarind paste and lemon grass serve to reduce the heat.
Subtle aromas are provided by ingredients such as galingale, ginger,
cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic, cumin, coriander and various
types of soy sauce as well as peanut and shrimp paste. Spices are
often ground to a thick paste with a pestle and mortar.
