Saksang or sa-sang is a savory, spicy Indonesian dish from the Batak people.[3] It is made from minced pork or dog meat[1] (or, more rarely, water buffalo meat) stewed in its blood,[2] coconut milk and spices; including kaffir lime and bay leaves, coriander, shallot, garlic, chili pepper and Thai pepper, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, turmeric and andaliman (the fruit of a native shrub similar to Sichuan pepper).[1]
Although saksang is widely consumed and familiar within Batak tribes' traditions, it is more often associated with Batak Toba.[4] Saksang has special significance to the Bataks, as it is an obligatory dish in Batak marriage celebrations.[5] Saksang, together with panggang, arsik and daun ubi tumbuk, are the essential dishes in Batak cuisine.
