About Ketoprak
Ketoprak is a traditional Indonesian street food dish comprising tofu, rice vermicelli, bean sprouts, and peanut sauce, usually served with boiled egg and crackers. Originating from Java, Indonesia, this dish is celebrated for its balanced combination of flavors—sweet, savory, and spicy. Nutritionally, Ketoprak provides a moderate calorie count (133 kcal per serving) and offers carbohydrates from rice noodles, plant-based protein from tofu, and healthy fats from peanut sauce. With a small amount of dietary fiber (1.67 g), it can be part of a balanced meal, but portion control is advised due to its peanut sauce base, which increases fat content. Although Ketoprak is nutrient-dense, it is relatively low in some vitamins, such as vitamin D, and has modest amounts of iron and calcium.
