About

This is traditional Indonesian street food and normally consists of a vegetable salad with a peanut dressing — which is poured over the salad just before serving. The name literally means’mix-mix’ in Indonesian and the recipe differs from region to region. This is the Anna Jones version, based on her travels and tribulations in South East Asia.
