Everything there is to know about the delicious, crispy cracker that we eat so often with Asian dishes.

What is krupuk? And how is it made? Krupuk is a typical Asian cracker which comes in many different sizes, flavours and varieties. Most types of krupuk are made from a mixture of tapiocaflour and seasoning from prawns or other kinds of fish. But krupuk also comes in variations that do not contain any flour at all. The name ‘krupuk’ collectively refers to all crackers made from a dough based on starch (such as tapiocaflour) that is steamed, dried and then fried.

In Asia, people eat krupuk anywhere and at anytime. We mostly know krupuk as a side dish to an Asian dish. But in Asian countries you might also see krupuk to accompany a cup of coffee. In Europe, the most famous variation is Krupuk Udang which is made from tapiocaflour and prawn. But in Asia there are over a hundred different types of krupuk. Baland International proudly holds at least 50 of these in its assortment!

Also healthy krupuk! The process of frying in oil does not make krupuk a very healthy snack. However, people often thing it is because it is made with low fat fish. But, nowadays there are plenty of healthier krupuk variations. One of Baland’s premium brands has added different kinds of healthier krupuk to its range. We also sell the Maxi cassava krupuk as a no-cholesterol, no trans-fat and/or glutenfree variety. And of course we also sell vegetarian and vegan krupuk!

3. Krupuk Emping Often with a heavier meal, you will find emping as a side dish. This is because emping is a bit sweeter in taste. This cracker is made from melinjo seads which are crushed until smooth. After that they are dried in the sun and cut out in the desired size.

4. Krupuk Gendar Also the gendar is made from tapiocaflour, but fort his cracker you must add rice and seasonings to the batter. This cracker is a bit chewyer and also needs to dry a bit longer. After 2 to 3 days of drying in the sun you can fry this cracker raw and its ready to eat!
