It is a traditional Indonesian food that consists of rice stick noodles, bean sprouts, fried tofu, some serve with lontong (rice cake steamed in banana leaves), peanut sauce and crackers. To make it “fancier”, I threw in some satay for bonus too. It is very popular in Jakarta, but you can also find it in other part of Java.
