What is a Crack?

At first, Krecek did not use cowhide as we know it today. The early history of krecek begins with the use of pork skin or pork which is processed into food with special spices. However, over time, this dish has developed, especially because many Muslims in Indonesia do not eat pork. Therefore, cowhide becomes a more suitable substitute material to maintain the distinctive taste and texture of krecek.

Krecek is becoming increasingly popular among Indonesians, especially as a complement to rice dishes or accompaniments such as gudeg in Yogyakarta and nasi Kucing in parts of Central Java. Today, krecek has become an integral part of traditional Indonesian dishes and is also often found in restaurants or food stalls throughout the country.

Krecek food is made by boiling cow skin until tender, then cooking it with various spices such as shallots, garlic, lemon grass, galangal, and bay leaves to give it a delicious and savory taste. Krecek is also often served with coconut milk to give it a thick texture and rich taste.

As a dish that is rich in taste, krecek is now a favorite of many people, both domestically and for culinary lovers outside Indonesia. Nowadays, krecek has become part of Indonesia’s diverse culinary identity and serves a variety of mouth-watering traditional flavors.
