Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g Young green jackfruit
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 500 ml Water
- 100 g Palm sugar
- 4 pieces Bay leaves
- 3 pieces Kaffir lime leaves
- 5 cm piece, bruised Galangal
- 6 pieces Shallots
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Coriander seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground white pepper
- 3 pieces Candlenuts
- 2 tbsp Frying oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the young green jackfruit, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic cloves, coriander seeds, candlenuts, and a little water to form a smooth paste.
Heat the frying oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the jackfruit pieces to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, then stir in the palm sugar, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, and bruised galangal.
Season the mixture with salt and ground white pepper, then bring it to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to the minimum setting, cover the pot partially, and let the gudeg cook slowly for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally and check to ensure there's enough liquid; add a bit more water if necessary.
Once the jackfruit is soft and has absorbed the flavors, and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce, your gudeg is ready.
Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat. Serve warm with rice and your choice of vegan accompaniments.
