Bakwan (Chinese: 肉丸; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: bah-oân) is a vegetable fritter or gorengan that are commonly found in Indonesia. Bakwan are usually sold by traveling street vendors. The ingredients are vegetables; usually beansprouts, shredded cabbages and carrots, battered and deep fried in cooking oil.[1] To achieve crispy texture, the batter uses a mixture of flour, corn starch and sago or tapioca.[2] In West Java bakwan is known as bala-bala and in Semarang is called badak.[3] It is similar to Japanese yasai tenpura (vegetable tempura), Korean pajeon, Bruneian cucur, Burmese A-kyaw or Filipino ukoy.
