Madurese cuisine is the culinary tradition of the
Madurese people from
Madura Island in
Indonesia. This cuisine is particularly well-known in the neighboring areas of
East Java, as well as on the south coast of
Kalimantan. As a leading salt production center in the Indonesian archipelago, Madurese dishes are often saltier compared to Eastern Javanese cuisine, although with significant
Javanese influences.
Madurese dishes add petis ikan which despite the name (ikan=fish) is made using shrimp. The Madurese-style satay is probably the most popular satay variants in
Indonesia. Some of its popular dishes include
chicken satay,[1]mutton satay, Madurese
soto,
goat soup and
peanut sauce.
