About Pecel

Pecel is a traditional Javanese dish from Indonesia, celebrated for its vibrant flavors and nutritious ingredients. It consists of assorted steamed or blanched vegetables such as spinach, bean sprouts, long beans, and cabbage, all generously coated in a rich peanut sauce. The sauce, made from roasted peanuts, tamarind, chili, palm sugar, and aromatic spices, brings a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. Pecel is often served with steamed rice, tempeh, tofu, or crackers for added texture. Nutritionally, Pecel is packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals due to its vegetable content, making it a heart-healthy and gut-friendly dish. The peanuts provide plant-based protein and healthy fats. However, the caloric density of the peanut sauce and added sugar can make it higher in calories, so portions should be mindful if managing weight. Overall, Pecel is a wholesome, flavorful option reflecting the rich culinary heritage of Indonesia.
