Mie lethek
Indonesian traditional noodle dish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mie lethek (lit.ā'Ugly noodles') is a noodle dish originating from Srandakan, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta.[1] This dish primarily consists of grated cassava and grated coconut, typically using a bull to process the noodles. The word "lethek" is derived from its brownish color, resembling the bark of a tree.[2] Mie lethek is less popular in the Yogyakarta region due to competition from other dishes like petis, kuning, and instant noodles. However, in Bantul, mie lethek is well-known and enjoyed by the local community.[3][4]
