What is Asinan Sayur? Asinan Sayur is a salad that contains many different aromas and enhances your taste buds thanks to the variety of ingredients. The secret is in the dressing, a thin peanut sauce swirled with palm sugar to offset the salty snap of preserved mustard leaf, carrot, cabbage and cucumber. The krupuk mie are Indonesian noodle crackers and comes from a yellow disc made with egg noodles.
