This food existed in the 17th century, starting from the Mataram kingdom under the leadership of Sultan Agung, carrying out an attack on Batavia, at that time the Mataram soldiers ran out of food in Batavia because the food barns were burned by the VOC army.

the Warok Mataram soldiers took the initiative to make peanut sauce which was then poured over the vegetables as a substitute for staple food

because of that history Gado-gado is better known in Jakarta even though the Warok (Mataram kingdom) Soldier Came from Ponorogo, East Java
