Karedock (Balinese Salad)
The last dish I learned at my vegetarian Balinese cooking class was this amazing salad. Simple and sublime, like a peanuty slaw, but with raw thin shaved eggplant, beansprouts and lots of hot pepper. Just before serving you grind up all the spices and mix it gently with the vegetables.
