RE: Recipe for "Asinan Sayur" (Indonesian Salad from West Java)
Funny thing.. we have something similar to this here in the Philippines that's called atchara. Instead of cabbage, the main ingredient is green papaya. Almost similar to the Thai green papaya salad, but not spicy at all... it's more on the sweet side.
I think many asian countries have similar cuisines. So it does make sense that we have nearly the same food. However, there is also a dish called Acar.
I think, papaya salad could be very spicy too. It always depends on the taste.
4 chilis considered common for this in Thai or Indonesia, but for some people , especially western it is really a lot, most of them coulnd't handle it. :-D
