Lontong Sayur is a popular Indonesian dish featuring lontong, which are compressed rice cakes made by boiling rice wrapped tightly in banana leaves until firm. These rice cakes are sliced and served with a warm, savory coconut milk-based vegetable curry known as sayur. The curry typically contains a variety of fresh vegetables such as chayote, long beans, and bean sprouts, simmered in a fragrant blend of spices including turmeric, lemongrass, galangal, and bay leaves. Additional ingredients like boiled eggs, tofu, or sometimes sambal (spicy chili paste) are added to enhance the flavor and texture. This dish offers a comforting balance of creamy, spicy, and fresh tastes and is a staple breakfast or lunch option in Indonesian households, loved for its satisfying and nutritious qualities.
