Gado Gado (Vegetable Salad with Peanut Sauce)
This was a recipe that I learn on my last trip to Indonesia. Back home I’ve tried and it came out fine and delicious!! It’s easy to adapt with national ingredients! Ingredients
- 100 g long beans, cut and blanched
- 1 cup beansprouts, blanched
- 100 g spinach, blanched
- ¼ small cabbage, chopped and blanched
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced and blanched
- 4 squares hard beancurd, deep fried and sliced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, cut in wedges
- 2 tbsp fried shallots
- Peanut Sauce
- 500 g deep-fried peanuts (I used crunch peanut butter!)
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 10 bird’s-eye chillies, sliced
- 8 cm kencur, peeled and chopped
- 3 kaffir lime leaves
- ½ cup sweet soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6 cups water
- 3 tbsp fried shallots
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Directions
- Prepare the sauce by blending first four ingredients until coarse.
- Put in pan with all other ingredients except fired shallots and lime juice.
- Simmer over very low heat for 1 hour, stirring to prevent sticking (if you use peanut butter this will be faster).
- Sit in lime juice and shallots just before use.
- Arrange all vegetables on a dish and pour over the sauce.
- Garnish with beancurd and eggs, sprinkle with shallots and serve with deep-fried krupuk.
