Description
Krupuk (kerupuk) — deep-fried crackers made from tapioca starch mixed with shrimp, fish, or vegetables — is the Indonesian equivalent of bread on a French table. No Indonesian meal is complete without krupuk. It provides CRUNCH — the textural element that soft rice, wet curry, and tender proteins do not. It is the architecture of the Indonesian meal made audible: the crunch of krupuk between bites of rice and rendang tells the diner that the textural cycle is complete.
