About Pecel sayur

Pecel Sayur is a traditional Indonesian dish consisting of blanched or steamed vegetables like spinach, bean sprouts, long beans, and cabbage, served with a savory peanut sauce.

Often served as a side dish or main course with rice, it is celebrated for its versatility, plant-based ingredients, and representation of Indonesian culinary heritage.

Can I eat Pecel Sayur on a keto diet?
