Cireng

Believed to have been invented by the Sundanese ethnic group, cireng fritters are a common street food item that is prepared with tapioca flour or sago starch. Apart from the main ingredients, the fritters consist of various additions that typically include garlic, scallions, and different seasonings, while modern-day varieties also incorporate meat or sausages. Cireng fritters are characterized by their round shape, pale color, and a crispy exterior, while the center remains soft and chewy. They are usually sold at numerous street stands and are best enjoyed freshly prepared, accompanied by soy sauce or chili-based sauces.
