Served on its own, gudeg can be considered vegetarian food, since it only consists of unripe jackfruit and coconut milk. However, the dish commonly includes egg or chicken. Gudeg is served with white steamed rice; chicken, either as ''opor ayam'' (chicken in coconut milk) or ''ayam goreng'' (fried chicken); hard-boiled egg; tofu and/or tempeh; and ''sambel goreng krechek'', a stew made of crisp beef skin.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indomerchant.com/gudegjogja.html |title=Gudeg Jogja<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=11 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016142511/http://www.indomerchant.com/gudegjogja.html |archive-date=16 October 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
