Just wondering if you put the lid on the varoma please?
Steph this was absolutely beautiful!! I was all out of Kecap Manis so used regular soy sauce on the pork and I left out the sugar tooso that I could make it low carb for me. It didn’t matter, was delicious! Goes to show how versatile the recipe is!!! The sauce is totally drinkable, and the pork cooked perfectly. Thank you for an incredible recipe !
OMG made this tonight. Was amazing. I never had juniper berries or cloves and added cracked pepper as couldn't get peppercorns out. Sauce was divine and the pork was delicious. Favourite all round. Thank you x
A regular in our house and great to make for guests! Love it, thanks!
I made this as the recipe instructed and served on a bed of sweet potato with green beans and pak choi. Wife was absolutely delighted with flavour and presentation.
Well worth the effort!!
Thank you.
Very Nice !!
I added 1/2 the Kecap Manis to the stock,
A refreshing addition to the plate was a spoonful of the fresh " Beetroot, Carrot & Corriander " salad , laid the cut side of the pork on it with the sauce in a side ramekin so you could drizzle as little or as lot as your heart desires ,
With some home cut potato wedges mmmm !!
So happy with this - a favourite
OMG this is AMAZING!
This dish is very easy to make and just as easy to eat. Made it for the first time with a little bit of aprehension as I thought it would be very difficult. This was such a hit that I think it will be a regular dish from now on. Thanks for the recipe share.
This was so delicious and so easy to make. I have saved ylur recipe in my favourites as my husband really enjoyed this meal.
