Have you ever heard of this food? In Indonesia, culinary paradise with a variety of menus ranging from main dishes, appetizers or desserts, because there are many ethnic groups in Indonesia, causing the cuisine produced to be different. What is clear is that many foreigners come to Indonesia and Indonesian cuisine. One of the healthy foods that I introduce today to my friends in this community is Urap. Actually, Urap is a core spice made from slightly young grated coconut, then roasted and mixed with spices, then this urap seasoning is mixed with vegetables that have been boiled according to our taste, usually vegetables made Urap mixture can be in the form of cucumber, spinach, cassava leaves, bean sprouts, cabbage, long beans, lettuce and many others depending on our taste. And mix this urap seasoning.
This urap seasoning is mixed with various boiled vegetables that have been drained. This vegetable can consist of 3 to 4 kinds of vegetables and even more, it all depends on one's taste and artistic value in arranging the vegetables, which is clear, the essence of this vegetable is the urap seasoning itself. If this urap seasoning has not been mixed with vegetables, then this seasoning can last up to a week or even more if we cook it properly and perfectly cooked, then don't let any hands get into the urap seasoning, we have to take the urap seasoning with a spoon to make it last longer long.
