Traditional Noodle Maker From Palm Starch Called "Soun"

A worker pushes a tray of noodles that come out of the machine to be dried while making traditional noodles called ''Soun'' in Manjung Village, Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia, on September 24, 2025. The traditional noodles are made by manually turning flour into a pulp and then feeding it into a machine to form noodles. After being made into noodles, they are dried in the sun until dry and then packaged to be sold at a price of Rp 20,000 (US$ 1.2) per kilogram. The ''Soun'' noodles are usually consumed by the community by making soup and other traditional foods. (Photo by Ali Lutfi/NurPhoto)
