Emping
Emping (also known as arifin) are a type of Indonesian chips, a bite-size snack kripik cracker, made of ''melinjo'' or ''belinjo'' (''Gnetum gnemon'') nuts (which are seeds). Emping crackers have a slightly bitter taste. Emping snacks are available in markets plain (original), salty, spicy or sweet, depending on the addition of salt or caramelized sugar. Production Emping production is a home industry, with emping traditionally handmade in a labor-intensive process. The ''melinjo'' seeds are sauteed in a medium fire without oil, or sometimes using sand as a media. Some people boil the ''melinjo'' seeds to ease the peeling process. Both the softer outer skin and the harder inner skin of the seeds are peeled off by hand. Each of the gnetum seeds is whacked with a wooden hammer-like instrument or pressed with a stone cylinder to create flat and round emping, and later arranged in a tray made of weaved bamboo and sun-dried for a whole day. Each emping chip is commonly created from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soto (food)
Soto (also known as sroto, tauto, saoto, or coto) is a traditional Indonesian soup mainly composed of broth, meat, and vegetables. Many traditional soups are called ''soto'', whereas foreign and Western influenced soups are called ''sop''. Soto is sometimes considered Indonesia's national dish, as it is served from Sumatra to Papua, in a wide range of variations. Soto is omnipresent in Indonesia, available in many ''warungs'' and open-air eateries on many street corners, to fine dining restaurants and luxurious hotels. Soto, especially ''soto ayam'' (chicken soto), is an Indonesian equivalent of chicken soup. Because it is always served warm with a tender texture, it is considered an Indonesian comfort food. Because of the proximity and significant numbers of Indonesian migrants working and settling in neighbouring countries, soto can also be found in Singapore and Malaysia, and has become a part of their cuisine. Introduced to Suriname by Javanese migrants, it is part of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Nasi goreng'' (English pronunciation: ) is a Southeast Asian fried rice dish, usually cooked with pieces of meat and vegetables. One of Indonesia's national dishes, it is also eaten in Malay-speaking communities in countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and has gained popularity in Sri Lanka through migrations from the Malay Archipelago, in countries like Suriname via Indonesian immigrant communities, and in the Netherlands through its colonial ties with Indonesia.

Nasi Uduk
''Nasi uduk'' (Indonesian: "''nasi'' ''uduk''") is an Indonesian style steamed rice cooked in coconut milk dish, especially popular in Betawi cuisine. Etymology According to the book "Kuliner Betawi Selaksa Rasa & Cerita" (2016) composed by Akademi Kuliner Indonesia, the term ''uduk'' etymology derived from the term that means "difficult" or "struggle", which suggested that this rice dish was originally consumed by farmers and hard labourers. Another theory suggests that the term ''uduk'' is related to the term ''aduk'' which means "mix", thus nasi uduk means "mixed rice". On the other hand, some people connected the etymology to the Javanese traditions. Sultan Agung of Mataram called this rice dish ''wuduk,'' from Arabic word ''tawadhu which means being humble before God''.'' Depending on the dialect used, it can be referred to as ''uduk'' or ''wuduk'' in Javanese. When a reference to its taste is made, it's called ''sega gurih'' (lit. savory rice).
