A traditional Sundanese raw vegetable salad with a fresh, spicy peanut sauce! Raw vegetables like long beans, cucumber, cabbage, eggplant, and bean sprouts are drizzled with a peanut sauce flavored with kencur (aromatic ginger). It tastes fresh, spicy, and savory — totally different from gado-gado, which uses boiled vegetables.

💡 Tips
• Kencur is the key to karedok's flavor — without it, it just isn't karedok
• The vegetables should be fresh and freshly cut so they stay crisp
• The sauce should be ground with a mortar and pestle, not blended, so the texture stays coarse and tastes better
• Raw eggplant is safe to eat and adds a unique texture
