In addition, the size of the tray for the tumpeng also needs to be considered. If the tumpeng is for 5-6 portions, then the tray used should not be too big. Well, then immediately line the tray with banana leaves that have been formed into a cone. After that, cover it again with a round banana leaf.
Next, place the molded yellow rice onto a tray. Then lift the mold. Then cover the top end of the yellow rice with banana leaves. Then decorate each side of the yellow rice with lettuce.

If so, take the dried tempeh and arrange it on one side of the yellow rice. Then continue to stir fry the vermicelli next to the dried tempeh. Next, place two pieces of fried chicken next to the vermicelli.

Next, take the boiled eggs that have been split. Then arrange them in the gap between the fried chicken and vegetables. Place them in a stacked manner facing forward. Then, place the urap seasoning on top of the boiled vegetables.
