- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the peanut sauce for a tangy twist.
- Garnish the Boribap with chopped scallions or cilantro for added freshness.

- Serve the Boribap with a side of Indonesian pickles (acar) for a refreshing contrast.
Serving advice
Serve the Indonesian-style Boribap hot in individual bowls, allowing each person to drizzle the spicy peanut sauce over their portion. Accompany it with a side of Indonesian pickles and enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures of this fusion dish.
Presentation advice
