Sutirah is one of the people who sell this snack. She made it and then sold it in the market. "I cultivate it myself and harvest the long beans in my own garden". Said Sutirah, Sunday (11/10).

This snack is rarely sold in large stores, it may only be in certain places such as markets and small shops or specialty food stores. Otok is also a seasonal snack, it will only be available during the long bean season. Where it happens at the beginning of the dry season and at that time new people will grow long beans. For this reason, snacks will not always be there if not in season. She also said that otok  is a snack that is loved by all ages, children and adults will enjoy it, even otok can compete with snacks that are available today.

For the process of making snacks, it's also very easy, only long bean seeds that are soaked in water and then seasoned and then fried. It's not as simple as how to make it difficult for you to stop enjoying these snacks before they run out. Snacks will be perfect to accompany you while watching TV and gathering with your family. The development of the era of otok has several flavors there are sweet and spicy. For those of you who are used to trying the original and want something new, you can try other variants. All the variants have their own unique taste.
