Bakwan are vegetable fritters, or gorengan, commonly found in Indonesia and usually sold by traveling street vendors. They are typically made of bean sprouts, shredded cabbage and carrots battered in a mixture of flour, corn starch and sago or tapioca for a crispy texture, then deep-fried in cooking oil; the dish is known as bala-bala in West Java and badak in Semarang, and is comparable to Japanese vegetable tempura, Korean pajeon, Bruneian cucur, Indian pakora, Burmese a-kyaw, Caribbean pholourie and Filipino ukoy.
