About Kupat tahu

Kupat Tahu is a traditional Indonesian dish, particularly popular in Central Java and West Java. It consists of compressed rice cakes (kupat), fried tofu (tahu), bean sprouts, and sometimes cabbage or cucumber, all drenched in a rich peanut sauce. The sauce is typically made from roasted peanuts, palm sugar, garlic, tamarind, and chili, offering a harmony of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Garnished with fried shallots and crackers, it’s a hearty and satisfying meal. Nutritionally, Kupat Tahu provides protein from the tofu and peanuts, fiber from the vegetables, and carbohydrates from the rice cakes. However, the peanut sauce can be calorie-dense and high in fat, particularly when prepared with added sugars or oils. While it offers a balance of macronutrients, moderation is key if you’re watching your calorie or fat intake. It’s a flavorful introduction to Indonesian street food culture with both nourishing and indulgent aspects.
