Ketoprak is one in all Jakarta’s most liked road meals. It consists of rice cake, rice noodles, fried tofu and recent bean sprouts served in peanut sauce. Uncooked garlic offers it a particular and powerful taste that's balanced by a splash of brown sugar and candy soya sauce and completed with a spicy shot of contemporary hen-eye chilies.
The dish consists nearly totally of carbohydrates so my suggestion could be so as to add further protein by together with some grated carrots, sliced cucumber and sizzling or chilly-grilled breast hen.
I'd additionally recommend serving ketoprak with calmly roasted peanuts to substitute the deep-fried peanut sauce because the frying will destroy the legumes’ well being advantages.
I additionally like including recent kemangi, or native basil, to the dish and to provide it an actual kick a splash of tamarind water will give it an acidic tang.
