Pecel Solo
Pecel (, Javanese:ꦥꦼꦕꦼꦭ꧀) is a traditional Javanese salad with peanut sauce, usually eaten with carbs (steamed rice, ''lontong'' or ''ketupat''). The simplicity of pecel preparation and its cheap price have contributed to its popularity throughout Java. It has become a food that represents practicality, simplicity, and travel, since the dish is often found along the train journey across Java. Pecel was introduced to Malaysia, where it is known as pecal, by Javanese immigrants. Pecel is also very popular in Suriname, where it was introduced by the Javanese Surinamese. History In Babad Tanah Jawi (circa 17th century), Ki Gede Pemanahan referred to the dish he presented to his guest, Sunan Kalijaga as "''pecel''-ized boiled vegetables". In Javanese language, "''pecel''" used to refer to the act of squeezing the water out of something. Sunan Kalijaga was not familiar with the dish as he came from northeastern part of Central Java, while the dish was native to Yogy ...

Javanese Surinamese
Javanese Surinamese people are an ethnic group of Javanese descent in Suriname. They have been present since the late 19th century, when their first members were selected as indentured laborers by the Dutch colonizers from the former Dutch East Indies. History After the abolition of slavery, the plantations in Suriname needed a new source of labor. In 1890, the influential Netherlands Trading Society, owner of the plantation Mariënburg in Suriname, undertook a test to attract Javanese indentured workers from the Dutch East Indies. Until then, primarily Indian indentured workers from British India worked at the Surinamese plantations as field and factory workers. On 9 August, the first Javanese arrived in Paramaribo. The test was considered successful and by 1894 the colonial government took over the task of recruiting Javanese hands. They came in small groups from the Dutch East Indies to the Netherlands, and from there to Paramaribo. The transport of Javanese immigran ...

Rempeyek
Rempeyek or peyek is a deep-fried savoury Indonesian- Javanese cracker made from flour (usually rice flour) with other ingredients, bound or coated by crispy flour batter. The most common type of rempeyek is ''peyek kacang'' ("peanut peyek"); however, other ingredients can be used instead, such as ''teri'' (dried anchovies), ''rebon'' (small shrimp), or ''ebi'' (dried shrimp). Today, rempeyek is commonly found in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as in countries with considerable Indonesian migrant populations, such as The Netherlands and Suriname. Coconut milk, salt, and spices such as ground candlenut and coriander are often mixed within the flour batter. Some recipes also add a chopped citrus leaf. The spiced batter, mixed or sprinkled with the granule ingredients, is deep fried in hot coconut oil. The flour batter acts as a binding agent for the granules (peanuts, anchovy, shrimp, etc.). It hardens upon frying and turns into a golden brown and crispy cracker. In Indone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lotek (food)
''Lotek'' (alt. spelling: ''lothek'', Javanese: ꦭꦺꦴꦛꦼꦏ꧀) is a Javanese (Indonesian) vegetable-based salad with peanut sauce. While the sauce ingredients are the same with that of ''pecel'', ''lotek'' sauce is typically much sweeter to taste, a nod to a classic "Matraman" (adj. belong to the Mataram Sultanate) cuisine. ''Lotek'' is popular in the southern parts of Central Java, and Yogyakarta, where sweet taste is traditionally preferred. It may also be called '' lontong pecel'' since it's basically ''lontong'' and ''pecel'' served with ''krupuk'' and ''gorengan''. Etymology The word ''lothek'' derived from a Javanese word which means "a wooden or bamboo spatula", used to scoop out sambal, sauce, or any paste, from the grinding bowl. In modern Indonesia, the "th-" sound is replaced with "t-", which non-Javanese speakers find easier to pronounce. As Javanese traditional villages turn urban (and welcomed people from other ethnic groups), the "t-" sound version is u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
