Saksang or sa-sang is a savory, spicy Indonesian dish from the Batak cuisine. It is made from minced pork or dog meat (or, more rarely, Domestic buffalo meat) stewed in its blood, coconut milk and spices; including kaffir lime and bay leaf, coriander, shallot, garlic, chili pepper and Thai pepper, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, turmeric and andaliman (the fruit of a native shrub similar to Sichuan pepper).
Although saksang is widely consumed and familiar within Batak' traditions, it is more often associated with Batak Toba. Saksang has special significance to the Bataks, as it is an obligatory dish in Batak marriage celebrations. Saksang, together with Babi panggang, arsik and daun ubi tumbuk, are the essential dishes in Batak cuisine.
