Questions

What is Asinan Bogor?

A refreshing fruit and vegetable salad tossed in a sweet, sour, and spicy chili brine topped with crunchy peanuts. This reference files it under Indonesian salad: made on the stovetop and in a blender, rated easy and about 25 minutes start to finish.

Can I make Asinan Bogor less spicy?

Yes. The heat in Asinan Bogor comes from 5 red chili peppers, seeded and 3 bird's eye chilies, stemmed. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the bird's eye chilies, or use half; nothing else in the method changes.

Does Asinan Bogor contain peanuts?

Yes: 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed. The full allergen list for this entry is peanuts. Where the peanuts are a garnish, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds give the same crunch. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How many calories are in Asinan Bogor?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 180 calories, with 3 g protein, 38 g carbohydrate and 4 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 450 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Asinan Bogor keep?

The base of Asinan Bogor is cabbage, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. Add the peanuts at the table so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.
