Karedok
Karedok is part of a wide range of Indonesian dressing and salad combinations, along with lotek, pecel and gado-gado. In many places, to retain authenticity in both the production and flavor, the peanut sauce is made in individual batches, in front of the customers. However, since the dish has gained popularity (because of the increase of Asian-themed restaurants) Karedok sauce is now mostly made ahead of time and cooked in bulk, although this is probably more common in Western restaurants rather than in Indonesia. Nowadays in supermarket and stores, many peanut seasoning for karedok are made and sold. A dressing for this salad may include: Red pepper, ginger, bird's eye chili, greater galangal, fried peanuts, brackish water, palm sugar, salt, terasi (a condiment made from pounded and fermented shrimp), hot water, and white pepper.
Variations
Over time, there has been a lot of variation in the garnishes used in karedok and its taste, but it is still basically vegetables covered in peanut seasoning.
Peanut sauce dressing
What distinguishes karedok from a plain vegetable salad is the peanut sauce dressing, which is poured on top of the vegetable salad before serving. The composition of this peanut sauce varies from commonly used peanuts kacang tanah (Indonesian).
Karedok is always served with crackers, usually krupuk commonly made from tapioca crackers or with emping crackers which are made from melinjo. In Indonesia, karedok is also usually served with rice or lontong (rice wrapped in banana leaf) and sometimes with salted duck egg.
