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.

Thanks for letting me know, it gets a bit confusing.
Hi, what a nice surprise to have an Indonesian dish featured here. 🙂 I just wanted to clarify that Karedok is actually a Sundanese (West Java) dish and not Balinese. Just thought it would be good to know.
