Indonesian cuisine is known for its bold flavors, vibrant spices, and diverse regional dishes. Popular dishes include nasi goreng (fried rice), satay (grilled skewered meat), and rendang (spicy beef stew). Gado-gado, a vegetable salad with peanut sauce, and soto, a fragrant soup, are also staples. Indonesian food often incorporates ingredients like coconut milk, turmeric, and chili, creating rich, aromatic meals. Street food, such as bakso (meatball soup) and martabak, is also widely enjoyed.
