Tahu campur

Tahu campur, meaning mixed tofu in Javanese and Indonesian, is a tofu dish from East Java. A bowl combines sliced fried tofu with lontong rice cakes, a fried patty of black-eyed peas called lentho or sometimes a potato or cassava patty, fresh bean sprouts and lettuce, yellow noodles and krupuk crackers, all served in a savory beef stew and finished with fried onions and sambal chili sauce. The stew is seasoned with spices and with petis, a shrimp paste that is common in East Javanese cooking. The dish is associated with the Surabaya metropolitan area, which includes Surabaya, Lamongan, Gresik and Sidoarjo, and street vendors sell it in large Indonesian cities, especially in Java, from tarp-covered stalls that are often called Tahu Campur Lamongan.
