Food in Indonesia
The 'typical' Indonesian meal might be described as being based on rice, with several savory side dishes of vegetable, fish or meat or poultry, accompanied by chilli-hot condiment or sambal, with peanuts, crackers (krupuk) or fried shallots to provide a crunchy contrast. In eastern Indonesia, where the natives are more influenced by Pacific islander cultures, the meals can be centered on other sources of carbohydrates such as sago and/or grain.
Indonesian island of Maluku is famed as "the Spice Island" also gave contribution on the introduction of native spices to Indonesian and global cuisine. The most popular dishes that originated in Indonesia are common across most of Asia. Popular Indonesian dishes such as satay, beef rendang, and sambals also favored in Malaysia and Singapore. Soy-based dishes, such as variations of tofu (tahu) and tempeh, are also very popular.

What grain is perceived to have a soul or spirit and it therefore subject to many ritual observances during growth and harvesting?
Indonesian food sounds very similar to Asian food. The beef rendang looks pretty similar to the rice and beef I eat a lot at my house. I'd love to try some the rice dishes from the "Spice Island!"
