Gudeg (Yogyakarta Specialty Food)
Gudeg (Yogyakarta Specialty Food)
Gudeg is one of the typical Indonesian dishes which is famous for its delicacy. This dish
is a traditional and typical dish of the Province of Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia. In its
development, people know the famous gudeg from Yogyakarta, making this city known as the
Gudeg City. The history of gudeg in Yogyakarta began with the establishment of the Islamic
Mataram kingdom on the Mentaok base in the Kotagede area in the 1500s. Gudeg actually does
not come from the kingdom but comes from the community. In the 19th century not many were
selling gudeg. Gudeg became popular and widely traded in the 1940s when President Sukarno
built Gajah Mada University (UGM) until now.
Gudeg is made from unripe young jackfruit (Javanese: gori). It takes hours to make.
Gudeng is cooked with palm sugar, and coconut milk. Additional spices include garlic, shallots,
candlenut, coriander seeds, galangal, bay leaf, and teak leaves, which impart a reddish-brown
color to the dish. With various mixtures of these spices, gudeg becomes delicious and has a
distinctive and delicious taste according to the tastes of the Javanese people in general. The
brown color is usually produced by teak leaves cooked together. Gudeg is usually eaten with rice
and served with thick coconut milk (areh), free-range chicken, egg, tempeh, tofu and krecek fried
chili sauce.
There are several types of gudeg; dry, wet. The dry gudeg only has a little coconut milk
so it has a little sauce while the wet gudeg has a lot of coconut milk. The most common gudeg
comes from Yogyakarta, and is usually sweeter, drier and reddish in color due to the addition of
teak leaves as a colorant. Gudeg Solo from the city of Surakarta is more watery and thick, with
lots of coconut milk, and is whitish in color because teak leaves are generally not added. Gudeg
Yogyakarta is usually called “red gudeg”, while gudeg Solo is also called “white gudeg”. The
gudeg typical of East Java has a spicier and hotter taste than the gudeg of Yogyakarta, which is
sweet.
