Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on anything beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Indonesian cuisine is one of the richest culinary traditions in the world and is full of intense flavors. The richness of its cuisine is a reflection of the diversity of cultures and traditions of the archipelago, which consists of about 6,000 inhabited islands, and plays an important role in Indonesian national culture in general. Almost all Indonesian dishes are rich in spices derived from spices such as candlenut, chili, temu kunci or fingerroot, galangal, ginger, kencur or kaempferia galanga, turmeric, coconut, and gula jawa or coconut/ palm sugar.

Just like what I am going to share today, it calls "Karedok". It is very similar to gado-gado, except all the vegetables are raw, while most gado-gado vegetables are boiled
Karedok is a raw vegetable salad in peanut sauce from Sundanese region, West Java, Indonesia. It is one of the Sundanese signature dishes. It traditionally includes long beans, cucumbers, bean sprouts, cabbage, Indonesian basil or lemon basil (Ind: kemangi), and small green eggplant, covered in peanut sauce dressing.

What makes this dish different from gado-gado, it's using kencur or kaempferia galanga, ,lemon basil (Indonesian: Kemangi), and green apple eggplant.
Karedok is also known as lotek atah (raw lotek or raw gado-gado) for its fresh and raw version of the vegetable covered with peanut sauce. 

Karedok is widely served as a daily food in the Sundanese family, usually eaten with hot rice, tofu, tempeh, and krupuk (cracker).
Nowadays karedok can be found in many variations from hawkers' carts, and stalls (warung) as well as in restaurants and hotels both in Indonesia and worldwide.

Karedok is part of a wide range of Indonesian dressing and salad combinations, along with lotek, pecel and gado-gado. 

In many places, to retain authenticity in both the production and flavor, the peanut sauce is made in individual batches, in front of the customers. However, since the dish has gained popularity (because of the increase of Asian-themed restaurants) Karedok sauce is now mostly made ahead of time and cooked in bulk, although this is probably more common in Western restaurants rather than in Indonesia. 

Karedok is always served with crackers or krupuk commonly made from tapioca crackers. In Indonesia, karedok is also usually enjoyed with rice, lontong (rice cake wrapped in banana leaf). And crunchy fried shallot is sprinkled over the top to seal the dish.

So if you are interested to try this healthy and vegan meal, just gather some vegetables needed, and let's make the delicious peanut sauce dressing.

And if you have any questions regarding this dish, you can leave your comment below and I will be glad to answer them as soon as I get them.

Bicara makanan sehat.. nggak ada yang ngalahin karedok 🥗 ya. Paling enggak itu menurut saya ya moms. Semua jenis sayuran ada di situ plus protein paling sehat sedunia: tempe!
Karedok adalah salad yang terdiri dari sayuran mentah dicampur bumbu kacang dengan aroma kencur yang menggugah selera. Khas dari Jawa Barat. Dulu saya suka beli karedok ini di daerah RS persahabatan-Jkt. Tapi bisa juga lho mom dibuat dirumah,lebih sehat, lebih ekonomis dan nggak ada yg ngalahin homemade with 💖 ya 😊

Jumlah sayuran bisa disesuaikan ya moms.
