Hey Lykkers! Have you ever craved a snack that’s both colorful and bursting with flavor but also feels a bit fancy? Let me introduce you to Vegetable Risoles — a popular Indonesian treat that’s as fun to eat as it is delicious.
Imagine thin, delicate crepes folded into neat triangle shapes, filled with a savory mix of corn, carrots, and green beans. Served on a crisp white plate with melted cheese, creamy mayonnaise, and a kick of spicy chili sauce, it’s a snack that hits all the right notes and is sure to impress your friends.

What Are Vegetable Risoles?

Risoles are a beloved Indonesian snack often served at parties and family gatherings. The magic lies in the soft, thin crepe wrapping that holds a savory vegetable filling.
Unlike typical dumplings or pastries, risoles use crepes as their shell — giving them a light texture that pairs perfectly with the hearty filling inside. This particular version is packed with sweet corn, crunchy carrots, and fresh green beans sautéed with simple seasonings to enhance their natural flavors.

Why the Triangle Shape?

The triangle fold isn’t just for looks — it’s practical too! Folding the crepe into a triangle creates a neat, easy-to-hold snack that looks elegant on the plate. Plus, it keeps all the delicious filling tucked safely inside, ready to be dipped and devoured.

The Perfect Dips

No risoles experience is complete without the classic trio: creamy cheese, tangy mayonnaise, and fiery chili sauce. The melted cheese adds a rich, gooey texture, while the mayo brings a smooth, mild tanginess. The chili sauce kicks in the heat for anyone who loves a bit of spice. Together, these dips transform each bite into a flavor explosion.
