* Ketupat is a compressed rice. The authentic ketupat is wrapped with young palm/coconut leaves (as on picture attached). In this recipe, I didn't make the ketupat by my own. I found the ready to cook ketupat at the Asian grocery. The package is sealed in small plastic bags with tiny holes on it. What I needed to do was just boil them until they are cooked. Then, threw away the plastic bags and cut them into medium cubes.
** I forgot putting the bean sprouts on the picture (sorry....), but it was still delicious.
*** Krupuk is Indonesian fried crackers. They are many flavors; shrimps, fish, garlic, and shallot.
