Gado-gado is one of the foods derived from Betawi in the form of vegetables boiled and mixed together, with peanut or peanut sauce and mashed with egg slices and in general many who add boiled potatoes that have been mashed for sauce Gado gado boiled potatoes cooked together with peanut spice then topped with fried onions. A little bit of fried chips or crackers (some also wear shrimp crackers) are also added. Gado-gado can be eaten like a salad with peanut sauce / dressing, but can also be eaten with white rice or sometimes also served with lontong.
History

The statement that gado gado is a typical Indonesian food is not wrong. But if you want to see more, you will get more information that gado gado is a typical food that comes from the City of Jakarta precisely is a typical food of Betawi people. Many certainly have felt the gado gado in all corners of Indonesia. Both from the western tip of Indonesia to the East, gado gado has been sold like misalnyda fried rice with maybe a slightly different taste because it has adjusted each area where gado gado was sold. But if judging further and taken the red thread, such as the history of ulam rice where rice is eaten only with a mixture of basic vegetables, it can be concluded also that indeed Betawi people consume more types of vegetables from colonial times first. Although if viewed from the language used by both the original Betawi people, there has never been a word gado gado in its history.

The word gado gado itself is more often interpreted in general as a mixture, a combination of several types of things, mix and all things that are different but blended into one. I do not know which is first, called gado gado which means the mixture is new food gado gado this appears and given the name gado gado or this typical food that first appeared then the parable for all mixed called gado gado. Because a lot of words also use gado gado as a companion. Call it for example there is a title gado gado book that is used in educational terms by some children who mean that the book is a notebook for all kinds of subjects and other examples.

Or also there is a opinion like Gado-gado even become a term for all sorts of which is a mixture of various elements. For example, the language of gado-gado to say language mix-up. Gado-gado marriage is for two brides who have different ethnic, religious or racial backgrounds. Gado-gado may also be a term people say Bhinneka Tunggal Ika or religious.


We can only estimate the origin of the gado-gado name. Javanese usually use the term digado for food that can be eaten without rice. Gado-gado, though often eaten with lontong, is rarely eaten with rice. When eaten with lontong, gado-gado is indeed a meal in itself, not a side dish. In Java there is a food called gadon because it can be eaten without rice.

Nasi Kuning or sometimes called Nasi Kunyit is an Indonesian fragrant rice dish cooked with coconut milk and turmeric, hence the name nasi kuning (yellow rice).

Ingredients and Serving

The addition of turmeric and coconut milk, sometimes also includes pandan and lemongrass during the rice cooking and steaming process, has contributed to a tempting colour, pleasant fragrance, soft texture and a flavourful taste of the yellow rice.

Nasi kuning is usually served with a variety of side dishes such as shredded omelette, serundeng (relish of grated coconut and spices), urap (vegetable in shredded coconut dressing), teri kacang (fried anchovy and peanuts), sambal goreng (fried tempeh and potato caramelized in spicy sauce), ayam goreng (Javanese-style fried chicken), balado udang (shrimp in chilli), or perkedel (potato fritters).

It is common to serve nasi kuning with kerupuk udang (shrimp cracker) or emping chips and a decoratively cut cucumber and tomato.

In Indonesian culture, nasi kuning has favorable symbolic meanings. The yellow-colored rice is perceived to looks like a pile of gold, so it is often served in festive occasions; including parties, housewarmings, welcoming guests and opening ceremonies as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, wealth and dignity.

Nasi kuning is quite widespread and commonly found in Indonesian culture. It can be found from Java to Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi.
