About Pepes tongkol

Pepes Tongkol is a classic Indonesian dish made by steaming or grilling mackerel tuna (tongkol) wrapped in banana leaves, infused with a fragrant mixture of herbs and spices. Key ingredients include shallots, garlic, turmeric, chili, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves, which contribute to its bold flavor and aromatic profile. As part of Indonesia’s traditional cuisine, this dish is both flavorful and nutrient-rich. Mackerel tuna is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, which support brain function and heart health. The dish is typically low in calories and fats when prepared without excessive oil, making it a healthy option. However, high amounts of chili may not suit sensitive stomachs, and sodium levels can increase if soy sauce or salt is used generously. Overall, Pepes Tongkol offers a wholesome, nutrient-dense meal rooted in Indonesian culinary tradition.
