A close-up, overhead view depicts a dark, round cooking vessel containing golden-yellow cooking oil. Centrally located within the oil is a mass of pale pink, irregularly shaped, coiled or strand-like food items. The oil around and beneath these items exhibits active bubbling and frothing, indicative of high heat and an ongoing frying process. Some of the food items display slightly more reddish areas where they are denser or overlapping. This cooking scene is occurring in Gadingrejo, Indonesia.
