Urap sayur is often compared to salad, as it features an array of fresh and blanched vegetables with spiced grated coconut for dressing. This version comes served with blanched water spinach, mung bean sprouts, snake beans & fresh cucumber. For the dressing freshly shredded old coconut flesh is seasoned and sauteing with shallots, garlic, red chili paste, tamarind juice, galangal, a pinch of salt & palm sugar.
