The basic recipe, commonly used by Chinese Indonesians in their households, usually requires cuts of pork belly simmered with sweet soy sauce, spiced with garlic, shallot or onion, and a dash of salt.
The popular recipes employed elsewhere — from restaurants in Chinatown in Indonesia, to Bali and the Netherlands, may include additional ingredients, such as lemongrass, ginger, tomato, shrimp paste, salam leaf (Indonesian bay leaf), white pepper and red chilies.
If sweet soy sauce is not available, it can be substituted with normal soy sauce mixed with ground palm sugar or brown sugar.
The less hot and spicy sweet pepper may be used to replace red chilies.
