Urap Sayur
Urap sayur is a traditional dish that is much loved throughout Indonesia! This dish combines various types of fresh vegetables which are boiled briefly to keep them crispy and beautifully colored, then mixed evenly with grated coconut seasoning seasoned with special spices. Steamed thoroughly to keep it fresh and safe to consume. Without any animal ingredients at all, it tastes savory with the aroma of coconut, spicy sweet and balanced with spices, and brings a warm and nostalgic homey taste. Very healthy, rich in fiber, and perfect as a side dish with warm rice!
