Jalangkote is a fried dumpling from South Sulawesi that arrives warm and golden, its crispy exterior giving way to a filling of rice vermicelli, potatoes, vegetables, and egg. The Makassarese and Buginese have long claimed this as their own, and for good reason—it's built for dipping into sauce that hits you with spicy, sweet, and sour notes all at once. It shares kinship with pastel and panada, but jalangkote owns its own place in the regional repertoire.
