To honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and highlight the diversity and deliciousness of AAPI heritage, we are excited to share delicious Asian plant-based recipes contributed by our very own Impossible Foods team members!

This Ketoprak (Kuh-toe-prák) recipe (Indonesian-style noodle salad) comes to us from Lia Tjahjadi. Lia joined Impossible Foods in late August of 2020 as an Associate Scientist in Q&S Documentation and Specification team. Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, traveling and gardening.

More about this tasty recipe from Lia, “Ketoprak is a traditional vegetarian street food from Jakarta that consists of rice vermicelli, rice cake, tofu, bean sprouts, and cucumber dressed in sweet peanut sauce. It is usually topped with fried shallots and colorful krupuk (onion crackers). Growing up, this was one of my comfort foods to order as a snack after school. The ingredients themselves are easy to substitute. You can add different vegetables to your liking or even sub the rice vermicelli for zucchini noodles. If you’re allergic to peanuts, feel free to use almond butter or other nutty butter.” What a flexible and fresh recipe, Lia!
