Kripik

Kripik are small chips from Indonesia, prepared in sweet and savory versions. They are made with fish, vegetables, or fruit, in some cases the exotic ones such as taro, breadfruit, jackfruit, and snake fruit. The chips are deep-fried in vegetable oil until crispy. The most popular varieties include kripik singkong (cassava chips) and kripik pisang (banana chips). Kripik belongs to the group of krupuk, which are larger chips, while kripik is smaller, but has more variety in its ingredients, so almost any fruit, tuber, vegetable, or nut can be incorporated into kripik. The varieties are endless: durian, sweet potatoes, chicken feet, cassava and chili, spinach, and sea cucumber are just some of the ingredients that can be made into this flavorful and unique Indonesian treat.
