The dish is characterized by its peanut sauce with the aroma of citrus and Hello vegan lovers, I am very happy to invite you to prepare one of the spices or sauces that is always a staple in my frozen food stock when Ramadan arrives. This spice is one of the delicious dishes that we mix with our favorite vegetables for breaking the fast. Not only is it quick to prepare, but it is also one of my husband's and family's favorites.
The name "Pecal" refers to this peanut sauce, but we don't just use it for pecal; we also make gado-gado, which has a relatively similar seasoning. Both of these dishes are traditional Indonesian foods, or in other words, Indonesian salads.
The dish is characterized by its peanut sauce with the aroma of citrus and aromatic ginger, making it incredibly delicious. The sweet, spicy, and savory flavors are irresistible to anyone.

Ingredients
500 grams of peanuts
200 grams of palm sugar
200 grams of white bsmawang
15 red cayenne peppers
150 grams of red chili peppers
5 lime leaves
1 tablespoon of tamarind
1 tablespoon of salt
1 ounce of kencur (kaempferia galanga)
Lime zest to taste
Preparation Procedure
Fry the chopped garlic in hot oil until golden brown.
Then fry the chilies, lime leaves, and orange peel until wilted. Don't forget to drain everything first and set aside.
Then fry the peanuts with a little cooking oil. Fry until crispy, stirring constantly.
After frying the peanuts, chop them finely and add the chili peppers and other fried spices.
Since I didn't chop the sugar, I ground it again using my mother's traditional mortar and pestle.
I added ground tamarind salt until it was perfectly smooth.
The result will form clumps. Shape them into squares or circles, then wrap each portion in bubble wrap. This makes it easier when making pecel later—just take them out and add hot water.
Results
The results are perfect. I am very happy to be able to make special peanut sauce to stock up for Ramadan. My husband loves pecal, so making dishes like this for him makes him smile with happiness. Later, when it's time to serve, I can do so quickly and easily.
All you have to do is boil all the vegetables you want to mix and prepare the peanut sauce, then mix it with water. Everything tastes delicious. This sauce can also be used for salad; it's already very tasty with just fresh cucumber. Trust me, dishes like this look simple, but they are a quick way to serve a meal. In Indonesia, pecal seasoning like this is often stocked in large quantities because it has a very long shelf life, lasting 1 to 2 months in the refrigerator
So, for those of you who are curious about this recipe, try making it. I'm sure you'll love it. Make sure to use all the ingredients I mentioned for perfect results.
