    The document discusses the history of Uduk rice in Java. It began as Sego Wudu rice made for Sultan Agung, which included ingredients that were sanctified through ablution before being combined with coconut milk. It was typically served with whole chicken cooked in a praying position, symbolizing prayer and remembrance of God. Over time, as the Mataram forces brought the rice to attack Batavia, the Betawi people adopted it as Nasi Wuduk and it evolved from its original version to include dishes like semur jengkol and fried potatoes instead of the symbolic chicken.

    History of Uduk Rice

    In the kingdom of Sultan Agung's favorite food in the form of Arabic rice because in
    Java it was difficult to find the ingredients, so he made an initial version of Arab rice called sego
    wudu (rice wudu) so named because this rice was made with the condition that the maker must
    perform ablution. Bahanyapun must be sanctified (pesusi) first by washing it and then combined
    with the sacred also with the white symbol of coconut milk. Usually after purification (ablution)
    the Muslims carry out prayers, then add the side dish in the form of whole chicken called
    ingkung chicken. This chicken is cooked in a bonded position so that it resembles a person who
    is prostrating. In Islam people after ablution are continued with prayer, then symbolized by the
    ingkung chicken with prostration position (nyekungkung) in the state of dzikirullah and
    remembering death.
    Then the lauk is also a sultan's favorite gepleng sauce from soybeans, chili, onions and
    crushed salt. Why is it called gepleng? An abbreviation that comes from the word seregep
    shaking (the spirit of dhikr usually says the tauhid sentence "la ila ha illallah"). Thus the
    philosophy of food alone invites ablution, prayer, and dhikr so from that spirit in worshiping
    Allah. One time this rice was brought by Mataram forces to attack Batavia in 1628-1629, which
    at the time was still original with its chicken ingkung and sambal gepleng.
    Along with the development of the era adopted by the Betawi people (Batavia) into nasi wuduk
    with the frequent mention of the missing letter "W" became rice uduk with side dishes semur
    jengkol, fried potato sauce, and the chicken was no longer protected with different taste from the
    original.
