Hello foodies friends, today I am back to share with all of you. I won't tell you too much because the recipe I made is quite long in making steps, I'm worried that you will get bored reading my blog hahaha, but even so, I will tell you a little to introduce the food I made.
Today I made "Gudeg" a traditional food from my birthplace, Yogyakarta province, Indonesia. Gudeg is a food made from young jackfruit and prepared with coconut milk and several spices. Gudeg itself has a reddish brown color which comes from teak leaves.
Gudeg must be brownish red in color, so the aim is to use onion skin and teak leaves as a natural dye. If you don't find teak leaves, you can replace them with 2 tea bags, although the final result will not be the same as when using teak leaves.
Teak leaves are cooked together with young jackfruit and spices, processed very carefully and the cooking process takes a very long time, 3-4 hours. The way it is served is usually served with chicken opor sauce and also tolo bean vegetables and cowhide krecek. But today I only made gudeg.
This gudeg is very delicious if you cook it in a clay pot like the one I used at the end, but because it wasn't big enough I divided it into 2 cooking containers. Gudeg is also more delicious when eaten after 2 days because the taste and aroma are certainly better .
I will immediately show you how to make food that is recognized by UNESCO and is included in this intangible cultural heritage.

This food takes a very long time to cook, but even so, what we taste is worth the time we cook. The dominant sweet and savory taste is very suitable to be eaten with warm rice. Hopefully you understand what I share and write. Thank you for always supporting me. Warm greetings from me. GBU all
