Things to know about Rujak Buah Recipe
Rujak Buah is the Indonesian version of fruit salad, with a twist. While you may commonly associate fruit salad with something sweet, tart, and rich, this dish brings a whole new taste layer to the “salad” genre. The sauce used in this dish is a mixture of two main ingredients, brown sugar, and chili pepper. Yes, you heard it right, chili pepper is the main ingredient of the salad’s dressing. This combination of heat and sweetness unfolds a whole new layer of flavor that is complemented well by the taste and textures of multiple kinds of fruits used in this dish. This dish originated from the Javanese region of Indonesia. The name, Rujak, was derived from an ancient Javanese language called rurujak (deciphered from a stone tablet) from the 10th century. In the past, it is seen as the food of the higher class, as it is very similar in appearance to that of their European counterparts. During the 2018 celebration of Indonesian Independence in Beijing, the Indonesian embassy served Rujak to the invitee and the vice minister of foreign affairs from the People’s Republic of China.
