Food should never be wasted and in Indonesia everything is carefully saved and used. Spiced coconut flakes or meat floss are served moist the first outing, then crisped and dried to store in jars for future meals. Excess oil is spooned off sambals, stained with chilli colour and heat, to be used in stir-fries. Soft vegetables are given new life in Mie goreng.
