Ketoprak and Gado-Gado
Ketoprak and Gado-Gado Cuisines: Indonesian Features: BreakfastAbout
Ketoprak is a typical street-food/dish. It was originally popular around the Jakarta area but has spread throughout Java. It is nearly similar to Lotek and Karedok from West Java , Gado-gado from Jakarta and also Pecel from Central Java , although the ingredients in the peanut sauces are different. Gado-gado and Karedok use only brown sugar for sweetening, but sweet soy sauce is used for additional sweetener in ketoprak, and garlic is added. The seller prepares the ingredients at home and mixes them in front of the customers as they place their orders.
