Pempek is a traditional Indonesian dish originating from Palembang, South Sumatra. Made primarily from a mixture of fish and tapioca flour, this chewy fishcake offers protein from the fish combined with carbohydrates from the tapioca. Pempek is typically served with cuko, a tangy and spicy palm sugar vinegar sauce, along with sliced cucumber and sometimes rice noodles for added texture. Rich in protein, Pempek can be a nutritious option, though its deep-fried variation may increase calorie and fat content. The accompanying cuko sauce adds flavor while supporting digestion due to its vinegar base. For a healthier choice, steamed or boiled versions of Pempek can be prepared to reduce oil content. A versatile and flavorful snack, Pempek reflects Indonesia’s coastal culinary heritage, bringing together bold flavors and nutrient-packed ingredients.
