A popular Indonesian breakfast is lontong sayur, a dish made of compressed rice with a spicy curry sauce and cooked vegetables, typically jackfruit, as well as mie (noodles), deep fried redskin peanuts, and kerupuk (prawn crackers). Optional accompaniments include boiled egg (sometimes in a spicy sambal) and perkedel (deep fried potato cakes). A quantity of the dish will be prepared prior to sale at a food cart or warung, and will be served at room temperature and not reheated during sale.
In homes, nasi goreng is the most popular breakfast dish (unlike lontong however, nasi goreng is also eaten for lunch and dinner) in Indonesia (lontong, taking far more preparation, would generally be eaten at a local warung or food cart), and is also sold in warungs. In addition to these, Indonesians often simply eat the leftovers from the previous evening's dinner, such as curry, with plain rice - the high temperatures and widespread lack of refrigeration making it prudent to eat food while it is still relatively fresh. If lacking such leftovers, a basic dish such as fried ikan teri (dried fish), or some kind of fried egg, again served with plain rice, would be common.
