Kue is an Indonesian bite-sized snack or dessert food. Kue is a fairly broad term in Indonesian to describe a wide variety of snacks including cakes, cookies, fritters, pies, scones, and patisserie. 

Kue are made from a variety of ingredients in various forms; some are steamed, fried, or baked. 

Kue are popular snacks in Indonesia, and we have a wide variety of kue. 

In Java, traditional kue is categorized under jajan pasar (litteraly: "market buys" or "market munchies"). 

The colorfully decorated jajan pasar is usually given as a food gift or served to accompany tumpeng (the main dish) during traditional Javanese ceremonies.

Many of the traditional Indonesian kue, either sweet or savory, are based on rice flour and coconut. Traditionally, Indonesian sweets use gula aren or palm sugar, yet powdered sugar or granulated sugar is also widely used.

Besides bread, rice and bulgur are staples here in Turkiye. And this fluffy and fragrant turmeric rice is a fabulous way to add color and flavor to bland white rice. 

This turmeric rice reminds me of Indonesian "nasi kuning". The differences are some herbs and coconut milk that we don't use for this turmeric rice. Also, Indonesian nasi kuning uses glutinous rice mixed with long grain rice.

So this turmeric rice is simple version of that nasi kuning but still has great fluffiness and aromatic.

Maybe some of you already knew that most Asians cook rice using a rice cooker (Indonesian call it "magic jar"). Yes, since rice is a staple in Asian cuisine, we all have that rice cooker that helps us provide quick and easy fluffy rice every day.

Another way to have fluffy rice is using a steaming pot, this is a very old and traditional way, and some people still do it, especially in a very big batch.

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 is "cilok"?

Cilok (from Sundanese language), is an Indonesian ball-shaped dumpling made from aci (tapioca starch). 

It's a Sundanese snack originating from West Java, Indonesia. 

In Sundanese language, cilok is an abbreviation of aci dicolok or "poked tapioca", since the tapioca balls are poked with lidi  (skewer made from the midrib of the coconut palm frond).

Cilok balls are boiled until cooked or deep fried in ample cooking oil and might be served with peanut sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal, or chili sauce.

The texture of cilok is quite chewy, its shape and texture are quite similar to Japanese dango, although almost all cilok variants are savory compared to sweet dango.

Cilok is a popular street snack, usually sold by traveling vendors using carts or bicycles frequenting residential areas, marketplace, busy street-side, or stationed in front of a school. The chewy tapioca balls with savory peanut sauce are a popular snack among Indonesian school children
