Lepang is a plant that grows in many fields, and the commonly used in vegetable dishes typical in Dayak village (Central Kalimantan). This plant is related to cucumbers, namely the Cucurbitaceae and including genus Melothria are still wild and not much is known. There are two common ones, namely Melothria pendula and Melothria Scraba.

In place of the original, this vegetable is cooked with wine Rampank (dregs of juice wine made ​​from glutinous rice). Made with anchovy, rebon (ebi) or river fish and eaten with rice or tubers. Because I'm Muslim, I avoid the use of wine in this cuisine.
