Traditional culinary heritage plays an important role in preserving cultural identity and transmitting local knowledge across generations. Among the traditional foods of the Minangkabau community, Godok Obuih represents a unique culinary tradition that reflects cultural values, collective memory, and community identity. However, studies discussing Godok Obuih remain limited and fragmented. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of Godok Obuih in preserving Minangkabau intangible cultural heritage through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Relevant literature was collected from academic databases, official government publications, and cultural heritage documents, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that Godok Obuih contributes to cultural preservation through five interrelated dimensions: traditional culinary practices, community participation, cultural communication, collective memory, and local wisdom. These dimensions collectively strengthen cultural identity and support the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage despite contemporary social changes. This study also proposes a conceptual framework illustrating the relationships among these dimensions and demonstrates that Godok Obuih should be understood not only as a traditional food but also as a living cultural practice that continuously transmits cultural knowledge and social values. The findings provide practical insights for cultural preservation initiatives and contribute to a broader understanding of traditional culinary heritage as an essential component of sustainable cultural development.
