Among these delights, Jakarta stands out not only for its vibrant attractions but also for its iconic culinary masterpiece — Kerak Telor. In this article, we delve into the savory world of Kerak Telor, a dish that has captured the hearts of Jakartans for generations.
Jakarta’s Culinary Gem: Kerak Telor
Amidst the influx of fast-food options in Jakarta, Kerak Telor maintains a special place in the hearts of locals. This dish, characterized by its rich and savory taste, has long been a source of pride for the people of Jakarta. Even during the colonial era when the city was known as Batavia, Kerak Telor was a culinary sensation.
Fast Food Heritage
Considered the fast-food equivalent for Jakartans, Kerak Telor is a dish that doesn’t require extensive preparation time. In less than 15 minutes, one can savor the warmth and deliciousness of freshly made Kerak Telor. Typically sold during the Jakarta Fair, this culinary delight is crafted from ingredients such as white glutinous rice, chicken or duck eggs, dried shrimp (ebi), fried shallots, and a blend of ground roasted coconut, red chilies, galangal, ginger, whole peppercorns, salt, and sugar.
Unique Cooking Method
What sets Kerak Telor apart is its distinctive cooking method. Eggs are cracked directly into a wok without using any oil. As the eggs reach half-cooked status, the wok is flipped to face the heat from burning charcoal in an anglo (a traditional stove). This process creates the characteristic crispy layer of Kerak Telor.
Once the surface of the egg develops a slightly burnt texture, the dish is taken off the anglo, seasoned with a blend of spices, and is ready to be served. The entire cooking process, utilizing an anglo and charcoal, is crucial in preserving the unique and delightful taste of Kerak Telor.
