Chaotic here means 'stirred' or 'mixed'.

Lontong Gelap is one of the typical dishes from Padang. This lontong is usually served with accompaniments such as opor, jackfruit vegetables, and soto. The basic ingredients are the same as lontong in general, namely rice cooked until the texture becomes soft.

The difference is the way it is cooked, where lontong gelap is processed in a pan and continuously stirred. This is the reason it is called "kacang," which means stirred or mixed. The process of making it is similar to porridge because it does not use banana leaf or plastic wrap like regular lontong .

In addition to its unique processing technique, lontong gelap is also added with betel lime. The betel lime used is a type that is safe for consumption or food grade. Its function is to make lontong gelap denser and chewier.

However, not everyone feels comfortable using betel lime in cooking. For example, a YouTube user named syare nomel feels that betel lime causes side effects in the lontong she makes. According to her, adding betel lime can affect the results of the lontong.

"Although betel lime is safe to consume within normal limits, the use of betel lime also gives a yellow color effect to the lontong," said YouTube Syare Nomel.

In one of the videos uploaded, he shared a recipe for Padang lontong gelap without using lime. Not only that, his lontong also tends to be gas efficient. He does not use a stove in cooking, but a rice cooker.
