Etymology

The word "rujak" comes from the word rurujak, as attested in the ancient Taji Inscriptions (901 CE) from the era of the Mataram Kingdom in Central Java.{{Cite web |title=4 Makanan yang Sudah Ada Sejak Ribuan Tahun Lalu, Ada Kesukaanmu? – Bobo |url=https://bobo.grid.id/read/081633270/4-makanan-yang-sudah-ada-sejak-ribuan-tahun-lalu-ada-kesukaanmu?page=all |access-date=27 February 2021 |website=bobo.grid.id |language=id|trans-title=4 Foods That Have Been Around for Thousands of Years, Is Your Favorite One There?}}{{Better source needed|reason=This source resembles a personal blog and lacks historiographical gravitas.|date=April 2025}}

History

Cultural significance

File:Rujak Buah Bali 5.jpg, Indonesia]]

In Indonesia, particularly among the Javanese, the sweet, spicy, and sour tastes of rujak are popular among pregnant women; this craving for unripe mango and other sour-tasting fruits is known as ngidham or nyidham in Javanese.{{Cite web |date=10 November 2018 |title=Ibu Hamil Sedang Ngidam, Nih!

Javanese people believe that if the rujak tastes sweet, the child will be a girl, and if it is spicy, it will be a boy.{{Cite web |last=Ana Amalia |date=26 July 2016 |title=Resep Rujak Serut Khas 7 Bulanan |url=http://merahputih.com/post/read/resep-rujak-serut-khas-7-bulanan |website=Merah Putih |language=id}}

In Malaysia and Singapore, fruit rojak typically consists of cucumber, pineapple, jícama, bean sprouts, taupok (puffy, deep-fried tofu) and cut-up youtiao (Chinese-style fritters). The dressing is made of water, shrimp paste, sugar, chilli, and lime juice. Ingredients vary among vendors, with some adding tamarind or black bean paste to the mix. The ingredients are cut into bite-sized portions and tossed in a bowl with the dressing, and topped with crushed peanuts and a dash of ground or sliced torch ginger.
