Gudeg

Gudeg is a traditional Javanese cuisine from Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia. It is made from young unripe jack fruit boiled for several hours with palm sugar and coconut milk. Additional spices include garlic, shallot, candlenut, coriander seed, galangal, bay leaves, and teak leaves (provides a reddish brown color to the dish).

It is served solely and can be considered as a vegetarian food since it only consists of unripe jackfruit and coconut milk. However, gudeg is commonly served with egg or chicken. It is served with white steamed rice, chicken either as opor ayam (chicken in coconut milk) or ayam goreng (fried chicken), telur pindang, opor telur or just plain hard-boiled egg, tofu and/or tempeh, and sambel goreng krechek, a stew made of crisp beef skins.
