STIR-FRIED PAPAYA LEAVES & ANCHOVIES
When it comes to food, Indonesians sometimes have unique tastes and preferences. Even foods which's considered strange according to European people are also consumed. For example "Stir-Fried Bitter Melon" or Stir-Fried Papaya Leaves. It is precisely the bitter taste that makes addictive !! Strange, no??!:-D This is a daily recipe of Indonesian households with a native Indonesian and cheap ingredient : young papaya leaves & anchovies. Since this unique fresh vegetable is rarely almost impossible to obtain in the western supermarkts even in asian shops, I replace it with savoy (English) or Wirsing (German) as subtitute. With its hard texture & slighlty bitter taste, savoy is the best subtitute for papaya leaf. Buy more and use only the greeny leaves to obtain the best result.Important Note: I should warn you that dried shrimp paste smells quite awful especially for Europeans, but the taste in Nasi Goreng or other finished dishes (if required) is greatfully aromatic and essential to the authenticity of Indonesian cuisine. My suggestion, use it only little at first as I write in this recipe. It is less than in my Indonesian version.Have a try and hopefully this recipe will give you another sight on indonesian unique Stir-Fried Dishes :-)
