Most Americans are very familiar with the
Indonesian-inspired peanut sauces, redolent of soy, ginger, garlic
and cilantro, that season meat and poultry. This is easy to do
at home, and marries very well with pork. Serve with hot cooked
rice garnished with chopped cilantro, warm flour tortillas and
a cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar.
