This recipe is from Indonesiaeats and it was very delicious! I love sloppy joe type meals using completely different flavor profiles than what I’m used to and this certainly fit the bill. This isn’t as wet as American sloppy joes are, so be prepared for that. I made it with ground beef, since I’ve got a ton that I’m trying to use up.
