Fruitsalade

De naam asinan verwijst naar traditionele Indonesische salades gemaakt met ingelegd fruit of groenten. Er wordt aangenomen dat de fruitsoort afkomstig is uit Jakarta en de groentesoort uit de stad Bogor. Het gerecht is ontwikkeld onder talrijke culturele invloeden en is een echte vertegenwoordiger van het Indonesische multiculturele erfgoed. Asinan is een typisch straatgerecht in Indonesië en wordt meestal verkocht door straatverkopers of in lokale eetgelegenheden. Het is echter ook een veelvoorkomend gerecht in veel traditionele Indonesische restaurants. Hoewel asinan met elk fruit of elke groente kan worden gemaakt, zijn kool en komkommers de meest voorkomende ingrediënten. Zowel groente-asinan als fruit-asinan worden meestal geserveerd met zoete, zure en pittige pindasaus en worden meestal gegarneerd met rijstwafels of noedels.
