Notes from the kitchen
- Slice beef across the grain to ensure tender bites after quick high-heat cooking.
- Large green chilies provide color and mild savory flavor without intense spiciness.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Indonesian; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
