Traveljunkieindonesia.com – The other day, we traveled to North Halmahera to explore the islands culture and private islands.
We started our trip in the capital Morotai and hopped on a leak boat to the northern islands.
After exploring the pasific ocean on our boat, we ended up between dodola islands, two tiny islands with great spots.
While we loved the relaxed vibe and tasty local food, the highlight of our trip was yet to come.

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – I made these Asinan Sayur (pickled vegetable salad).
I used my family Asinan Sayur recipe and in the dressing, a thin peanut sauce swirled with palm sugar to offset the salty snap of preserved mustard leaf, carrot, coleslaw and cucumber.
The krupuk mie (Indonesian noodle crackers) comes from a yellow disc made with egg noodles. This asinan sayur is a delicious to serve with afternoon tea. Hmm… it was sooooo yummy!!
Simple and it only has a few ingredients.
