This dish is often enjoyed as a light meal or snack and is known for its rich flavors and satisfying texture.

Ingredients[edit]

The main components of Tipat Cantok include:

Tipat: Compressed rice cakes that are cut into bite-sized pieces. These are similar to ketupat, which are rice cakes cooked in woven palm leaf pouches.
Vegetables: A mix of fresh vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, spinach, and long beans. These are typically blanched or lightly cooked to retain their crunchiness.

To prepare Tipat Cantok, the rice cakes are first cut into small pieces and arranged on a plate. The vegetables are then added, either raw or lightly cooked. The peanut sauce is poured over the top, and the dish is garnished with fried shallots or krupuk (Indonesian crackers) for added texture.

It is often served during festivals and family gatherings, showcasing the importance of communal eating and sharing in Indonesian culture.
