New Year celebrations are really about the people you’re with, so keeping things simple in the kitchen is a must. Chef Joel Matthew's recipe for Babi Kepac is an excellent addition to your winter menus.


“It’s a dish rooted in Bali, Indonesia, and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Every time I eat it, or even smell it, I’m reminded of home.”

This Babi Kepac looks incredible—the sweet soy sambal glaze is exactly the kind of bold, caramelized dish I crave with rice. I’d probably add a squeeze of lime and extra chilies. Off-topic, but after cooking I like unwinding with story-driven horror; if you enjoy branching narratives, check out a step-by-step The False Sun walkthrough for its endings. Thanks for sharing this recipe; the step-by-step photos really help.

This looks incredible — that caramelised kecap manis against the fiery sambal is exactly the balance I chase in Babi Kepac. I usually marinate the pork overnight so the sweet soy really sinks in, then finish with a squeeze of lime to cut the richness. Don't rush the reduction; it's what gives that glossy coating. While mine simmered, I kept busy with Poople Answer, which offers endless word ladders and no daily cap. Bookmarked — thanks for sharing!

This Babi Kepac looks incredible—the glossy sweet soy sambal clinging to tender pork is exactly the kind of comfort food I want over rice. I appreciate the balance of kecap manis, chili, and aromatics; too often sambal dishes go one-note, but this seems layered. I’m curious whether you use pork belly or shoulder, and if a splash of lime at the end helps cut the richness. Food like this makes me want to explore more of Indonesia.

Babi kepac sounds fantastic—sweet soy sambal is such a perfect balance of sticky, spicy, and savory. I like recipes that let the pork caramelize slowly, then finish with lime or fried shallots for contrast. The 18 comments probably have great tips about chili paste ratios. While simmering the sambal, I often hop into quick browser games to pass the time; this beginner guide for playpolytrack is a fun, no-download distraction. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
