About Indonesian Cuisine

As the world’s largest archipelago country, Indonesia is well known for having a lot of cultural diversity. With more than 250 ethnic groups across the nation, each group contributed their own influence into Indonesian culture. As a result it gives a lot of varieties in Indonesian cuisine.

The basic flavorings of Indonesian cuisine are coming from herbs and spices such as candlenut, coriander seeds, turmeric, peppercorns, lemon grass, galangal, shallots, garlic, lime basil, kaffir lime leaves, palm sugar, tamarind and many more. Sometimes it is combined with hot chilies that makes Indonesian food very rich in flavor and taste hot and spicy. Indonesian cooking is not that kind of quick cooking techniques but the end result is always surprising all food lovers.

As an agricultural country, Indonesian plain is dominated by paddy field. Therefore rice is the staple food for Indonesian people. The meal usually combines rice, meat, fish or vegetable dish, soup and salad and all is served at once. Spoon and fork are are used while having meal although in many parts of the country it is also common to eat with fingers.

Throughout its history, Indonesian food has been influenced by China, India and Western and Middle Eastern traditions. The most popular dishes that originated in Indonesia are well known in most Asian countries such as chicken satay, beef rendang, soto ayam (clear chicken soup) and many more. Not to mention about tofu and tempeh dish are also very popular.

Indonesia amongst other Asian countris, is a heaven for hawkers food. You can find them easily, everywhere. Sometimes the taste is much better than the home cooking. There’s something missing if we try it at home even using the same ingredients. Ikaray’s Kitchen tries to combine both home cooking and hawker food cooking. We got all recipes from different sources including our family secret recipes. We tried so hard to translate all recipes in English.

So that for those who’s requested the translation (especially to all of our dearest friends), I am still working on it. I just realised that our recipe collection has grown so quickly. So please bear with me. :-))

If you have any questions regarding our recipes, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can be reached via email at: ikaray @ gmail dot com.

Enjoy your stay and happy browsing!
