📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gudeg is the signature dish of Yogyakarta, the old royal city of central Java — so much so that Yogya is nicknamed the 'city of gudeg.' Unripe young jackfruit is stewed for hours with coconut milk, palm sugar, and spices until sweet and meltingly soft. It's served with rice, chicken, boiled eggs, and fried tofu.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In an early-morning market in Yogyakarta, the sweet smell of gudeg simmering in big pots fills the air.
