🇮🇩 Indonesia recipe
Lontong Sayur
Lontong Sayur is a comforting Indonesian breakfast classic found across Java and Sumatra. Dense, compressed rice cakes (lontong) are bathed in a rich coconut curry packed with chayote, long beans, and tofu. The dish is a harmonious blend of creamy, mildly spiced coconut gravy and the neutral, chewy rice cakes that soak up every drop of flavor. It is simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying in a way only true comfort food can be.
