About Tekwan

Tekwan is a traditional Indonesian soup originating from Palembang, South Sumatra. It features fish cakes made from a mix of ground fish and tapioca flour, providing a protein-rich base accompanied by a light, flavorful broth crafted from shrimp or fish stock. The dish is typically complemented with vermicelli noodles, wood ear mushrooms, and shredded jicama, offering a balance of textures and nutrients. Garnished with fried shallots, celery, and lime, Tekwan is a fragrant and satisfying meal. While it’s a good source of protein and contains nutritious vegetables, it can be moderately high in sodium depending on the broth preparation. The tapioca flour in the fish cakes contributes carbohydrates, although in small amounts. Overall, Tekwan is nutrient-dense while being relatively low in fat, making it a hearty yet mindful choice within Indonesian cuisine.
