4rawit (small red or green chilies)
1.5ketoembar (powder)
1up to 2 finely chopped shallots
2cups of ABC ketjap Manis (sweet soy sauce)

1packet of lontong (sticky rice)
200graw skin-on peanuts
2slices of galangal about 7 mm thick
2Garlic cloves
4red shallots
25mlSunflower oil
2Daon Jeruk Purut leaves (kaffir lime leaves)
1red lombok (red chili) in pieces
1slice of Gula Jawa (palm sugar)
half a cup of ketjap manis
Preparation
- Soak the satay sticks in a glass of lukewarm water. This prevents the wood from splintering during skewering.
- Cut the lamb neck into small cubes the size of a mini sugar cube.
- Skewer the meat onto the sticks (not yet marinated).
- Make a marinade of 1 cup ketjap Manis, coriander, very finely chopped garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and brush the satay sticks with the marinade.
- Grill the satay on a grill, barbecue, or in a frying pan until browned all over.
- Glaze the satay again with the remaining marinade. Place the grilled satay on a platter. Pour the Sambal ketjap sauce over the satay.
- Put a pot with plenty of water (at least 2 liters) on the stove until it boils. Add a little salt and rinse the lontong under the tap for about a minute.
- Place the lontong in the pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until done.
- The lontong will become round and the rice will be cooked through.
- Remove the lontong after 20 minutes and let it cool.
- Cut it into small cubes and it is ready to serve.
- Take a frying pan and fry the raw peanuts in 1 centimeter of sunflower oil for about 5 to 7 minutes. They should be just slightly golden brown. Then put the peanuts in a colander and let them drain.
- Take a mortar or blender and grind the peanuts. Add the red shallots, finely chopped garlic, lombok, Daon Jeruk Purut, galangal, Gula Jawa, and a splash of ketjap. Add salt to taste.
- Once everything is well ground, reheat the frying pan with a thin layer of oil and fry the ground peanuts for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Carefully add some cold water until the sauce is bound and has the consistency of pancake batter. Note: the sauce should not be too thick! During frying, oil will be released from the peanuts. This is normal.
