Kerak telor

Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Short description: This street snack is crisp at the edge, chewy at the center, and savory from coconut and dried seafood.
Ingredients: Glutinous rice, duck or chicken egg, dried shrimp, toasted coconut, fried shallots, pepper, chile, ginger, and salt.
Cultural note: It is associated with fairground food stalls, where the pan is tilted over charcoal to crisp the top.
Common misconception: It is not a fluffy omelet; sticky rice gives it a dense, crusted texture.
