Then the spices are ground using fried peanuts until smooth, brown sugar, salt,Chili for those who like it spicy. Vegetables are mixed with spices and stirred plus pieces of tofu and kupat Made from coconut leaves filled with small rice.
Lotek Bu Amir also sells karedok, rujak uleg, rujak cuka. If karedok the ingredients are raw vegetables such as, cabbage,cucumbar, eggplan, Bean sprouts. And the spices are almost the same as lotek.
If rujak uleg, the ingredients are from thinly sliced fresh fruits such as pineapple, mango, guava, papaya, jicama. The seasoning is brow sugar, salt,fried peanuts, the presentation can be separated from the seasoning with the fruit slices.
I came to Lotek Bu Amir bought one portion of karedok, one portion of rujak uleg to eat on the spot, and also ordered one portion of lotek to take home. One portion each costs 17.000,-IDR ($1,04), I ordered 3 portions it is 51.000,-IDR or ($3,14).
Quite cheap and delicious, this Lotek stall has three people, Mrs. Amir who makes lotek,karedok and rujak uleg, two people as her assistants.

Traditional culinary is preserved and maintained
never really seen this in malaysia or maybe just never ordered. is this popular in indonesia?
Yes, this is famous in the Sunda region, West Java. Almost the same as gado-gado, but lotek has thick peanut sauce. Salam,
o.o thick peanut sauce kind of like satay or more?
Yes, it's almost the same as peanut sauce for satay, but lotek still has brown sugar,salt, Chili added. That's more or less it. Thanks,
I see. thanks for the description helps me kind of understand the taste of it without eating lol
This is yummy-looking food! I love how you elaborate each dish so vividly, I could almost taste the peanut sauce and fresh veggies just reading it. but anyway, we also have peanut sauce in a Filipino-style dish we call it cari-cari, and here in Malaysia, they also use peanut sauce for satay, it’s a barbeque style food with sweet and spicy peanut sauce. Lotek Bu Amir sounds like a true local gem, and the prices are incredible too. Putting this on my list if I ever visit Sukabumi! Thanks for sharing such a tasty piece of cultural food.
Thank you @anlizapasaje1234 for stopping by and a very good comment. Yes that's right we give a fairly detailed explanation, because I often eat lotek. One of the famaous lotek sellers in the small town of Sukabumi. Please come to Sukabumi the air is cool and the people are friendly, promotion ha ha. Maybe there are similarities in your country just different names, like you wrote curi-ciri. If vegetables are definitely the sama, only the spices may by the same but different names. Once again thank you. Greetings and happy days.
nothing at all! yes, our pilipino cari cari we also use peanut sauce with vaggie and meat the original is beef skin and tail we mix of it, but now we do something crispy pork and so many more versions, but the peanut sauce is the base. I would like to visit your country if I have chance and money for travel and its one of my lists now.
Oh yes, the raw materials for the seasoning are also from peanuts. Thank you and greetings from Indonesia.
