javaprivatetour.com – Are you in search of a tranquil getaway, surrounded by nature, and rich in both scenic landscapes and unique culinary experiences? Look no further than Dieng, nestled in the heart of Wonosobo, Central Java, a region surrounded by active volcanoes within the Ring of Fire.
Exploring the Enchanting Dieng Plateau
Dieng, often referred to as the “Land of the Gods,” boasts captivating Hindu temples like Candi Arjuna, Candi Gatotkaca, and Candi Bima, along with small hills and serene lakes. Apart from its stunning natural beauty that beckons visitors to capture its essence in photographs, Dieng is also home to a wealth of cultural heritage, including the culinary treasure known as mi ongklok.
From the Hands of One to the Heart of Dieng
Mi ongklok, a unique culinary creation, originated from the inventive mind of Muhadi, a skilled cook working in a noodle stall in Jaraksari, Wonosobo. This distinctive dish, as detailed in Bawana Winasis Dieng (2021) by Sutopo and colleagues, quickly gained popularity among travelers, both from Indonesia and beyond.
Muhadi’s culinary masterpiece features fresh local ingredients, including cabbage and chives, thriving in the cool and dewy atmosphere of the Dieng Plateau. The vegetables are first boiled in small bamboo baskets, creating a distinct “klok klok klok” sound during the cooking process.
Crafting the Unique Mi Ongklok Experience
The thick broth of mi ongklok, locally known as “loh,” sets it apart from typical noodle soups. Made from a blend of tapioca flour, dried shrimp, and palm sugar, the broth is a delightful mix that, when combined with the noodle dish, offers a sweet and savory sensation. To add an extra layer of flavor, the mi ongklok is served with a sprinkle of peanut sauce and fried shallots.
Mi Ongklok: A Culinary Icon of Dieng
Since Muhadi introduced his creation to the public, mi ongklok has become an iconic dish in Dieng, with numerous establishments now offering their take on this delectable noodle dish. The combination of natural ingredients and simple yet flavorful spices has elevated mi ongklok to a culinary status that attracts both locals and tourists alike.
