About Oncom

Oncom is a fermented Indonesian food made from pressed food residues, commonly soybean by-products or peanut press cake. It is sold as a compact cake, with colour, aroma, and texture varying according to its base ingredient and fermentation.

It is generally cooked before eating, for example by frying or incorporating it into other preparations. Soy-based and peanut-based oncom are distinct versions, and the raw fermented cake should not be conflated with a cooked dish made from it.
