Mie caluk explained

Mi Caluk
Alternate Name:Mie Caluek
Country:Indonesia
Region:Aceh
Course:Main course
Main Ingredient:Noodle, soy sauce, chicken meat

Mi caluk is a traditional Indonesian-Aceh noodle dish, which is commonly found in traditional markets and food courts in Pidie Regency and Pidie Jaya Regency.[1]

It is a noodle dish served with a splash of thick spicy sauce made from a mixture of tomato, chili pepper or chili sauce, coconut milk, ground peanuts, spiced with shallot, garlic, lemongrass and citrus leaf, and served with pieces of vegetables, sliced cucumber and krupuk.[2] The presentation of mi caluk is slightly similar to spaghetti.[3] Each serving of mi caluk is not large, so it is more precisely categorised as a snack. Thus, sellers of mi caluk are often found in makeshift stalls, and do not have stalls in a food court as is usual for food and drink stalls in Aceh.
