Inspired from my hometown, Indonesia. Commonly eat with sambal (chilli sauce) and lalapan (fresh cabbage, basil and cucumber). So, this is my take on the dish, it is simple and easy but time consuming.
But it is worth the wait, the ribs are tender and delicious and also rich in flavour, paired with crunchy refreshing salad.
