Trancam is a typical dish from Central Java and is a variant of urap. It uses the same dressing, sambal urap, but unlike urap, which uses steamed vegetables, all the vegetables in trancam are raw. Cucumber and kemangi (Indonesian basil) are added too, for extra freshness.
This trancam recipe can be enjoyed as a side dish or on its own, as a complete meal. It is best eaten immediately after being prepared. For extra protein, the dish can be paired with ayam goreng or tempe bacem.
