Ingredients, preparation, and serving

The dish is typically created using packaged commercial instant noodles such as Indomie stir-fried in a sauce of herbs and spices, [3] using a bumbu spice mix such as medok, along with the commercial seasoning packet typically included with the noodles. [4] [5] [6] [7] The additional spices thicken the sauce and give the dish a richer color and flavor than a typical bowl of instant noodles or ramen. [8]

It is served nyemek, or slightly soupy, and is sometimes served with other ingredients such a half-cooked egg, which gives the dish a creamy texture and flavor, and fried onions or mustard greens. [3] [2] [8] [6]

It is often served at warkop (a portmanteau of Warung Kopi, meaning "coffee stall"), a food served in roadside stalls.[ citation needed ]

Origin and popularity

While the name is sometimes taken to mean it is a dish of or inspired by Bangladeshi cuisine, it originated in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. [2] [3] [9] There are anecdotal explanations of the etymology of the name. [3]

The dish became well known in the 2020s after Indonesian food critics on Instagram and TikTok posted about it. [9] [5] [8]
