A crunchy accompaniment to Indonesian dishes. If you have access to authentic ingredients you can make some or all of the following substitutions: peanut oil for vegetable oil, palm sugar for brown sugar, ground galangal powder for ground ginger powder and tamarind paste for lemon juice. But its really good even with common ingredients.
