Bakwan

Bakwan is a vegetable fritter or gorengan that are commonly found in Indonesia. Bakwan are usually sold by traveling street vendors. The ingredients are vegetables; usually beansprouts, shredded cabbages & carrots, leek, and celery battered and deep fried in cooking oil. To achieve crispy texture, the batter uses a mixture of flour, corn starch and sago or tapioca. In West Java bakwan is known as bala-bala and in Semarang is called badak. It is similar to Japanese "yasai tenpura" (vegetable tempura), Korean "pajeon", Bruneian "cucur", Burmese "A-kyaw" or Filipino "ukoy". Originally Bakwan comes from a Chinese Indonesian cuisine. The name "Bakwan" is derived from the Hokkien language.
