Actually, what is the meaning of Penyet itself??
The word ‘Penyet’ comes from the Javanese language meaning pulverized.
Why pulverized?? Because the side dish will be crushed with sambal (re: chili sauce) before being served.
Penyetan is a traditional food with a reasonably affordable price, easy to make it and unique smell from special seasoning, we called it Terasi. Penyetan is an authentic dish from Indonesia precisely from East Java. Almost every part of East Java, there are some types of Penyetan and it is not only sold in street food traders even restaurants sell it. Penyetan is consumed by Indonesian and this food has a unique flavor. Almost all over Indonesia now already sells Penyetan. It’s usually made with terasi mixed with chili, tomatoes and salt. All those ingredients are stirred in a traditional container. In Java, we called it Cowek or Ulekan. Penyetan was served with fresh vegetables like cucumber, cabbage and basil leaves. some types of penyetan are chicken, duck, tofu, tempe, and catfish. Usually street food traders sell it at night (7 p.m to 11 p.m). Many people thought that this food was very spicy because Indonesian loved spicy.
