About Bakwan

Bakwan is a popular Indonesian snack, often enjoyed as an appetizer or street food. This savory fritter is typically made from a batter of flour combined with shredded vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts, and sometimes includes proteins like shrimp or corn for added flavor. Fried until golden and crispy, bakwan carries the rich essence of traditional Indonesian cuisine. While its vegetable content provides vitamins and fiber, bakwan is deep-fried, which increases its calorie and fat levels, making it best consumed in moderation. This snack is a flavorful way to enjoy nutrient-rich veggies, though balancing it with lighter, less oily dishes is recommended for a healthy diet. Perfect for dipping in spicy chili sauce, bakwan showcases Indonesia's love for crunchy textures and bold flavors.
