I've tried a few balinese porridge over dalung and denpasar. Usually, they use plain porridge then pour on top of it the base genep broth whoch makes it taste like a balinese meal. Added urab and shredded chicken, it's a light meal. In this version, I was inspired by Pesta Tuna event that I joined in Desa Les, Tejakula. We were eating this kind of porridge at dinner, which is the "fancy" version of the porridge that incorporate the base genep to the porridge itself rather than just using the broth to pour it on top of it that makes it taste more rich and flavorful.
What is base genep? Base (read bah-see) means spices and genep means complete, which makes it translates as complete spices. This spices mox often used with balinese as their base spices to cook many dishes, from ayam betutu to babi guling. I use Chef Wayan's version (from his Paon recipebook) of Base Genep which I adjust the spiciness and I add more long blackpepper.
