Gudeg Ayam, Tempe, Telor, Tahu

I hope you could see how happy I was yesterday in my kitchen! ^^ Jingkrak-jingkrak

As soon as hubby got into the house after working, He asked "what's cooking? smells so good! I could even smell it before I came inside."
It's GUDEG! I said, by stressing the word and He repeated it funnily. 
I know he won't remember the names of the food I made tho no matter how hard he tries. Only RENDANG maybe, but it took months lol.

What is Gudeg? It's famous delicious dish from Jogjakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Just google it if you wanna know more about it. ^^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudeg

If you won't be able to visit Jogjakarta then try cooking this food first. Hubby hasn't been there but once he ate this food, he said "I wanna live there!" *_* Really??
Well when I ate this, You know what's on my mind? I felt like I was back in java! with friends and family. Got that moment in each spoon I had ^^ It's been long time I didn't eat this food even when I was in Jakarta.

I just wanna share how I made with stuff I had. Actually the real main ingredients are young Jack fruit, *read unripe* and boiled eggs. You can get unripe jackfruit in some Asian markets, it's in a can. Just wash till it's clean and boil first till tender enough and then mixed with the seasoning. Here are the recipes.

5-8 chicken wings
2 packs of Tempe, I diced it
half pack of firm tofu, cut big square
3 boiled eggs

2-3 shallots
3-4 garlic

2-3 tea bags of Earl Grey. *hmm if you have black tea is recommended*
