Gado-Gado is a popular Indonesian salad discovered at lots of gerobuks, food courts, and restaurant. Gado-gado, likewise referred to as lotek (Sundanese and Javanese), is an Indonesian salad of somewhat boiled or steamed veggies and hard-boiled eggs served with a peanut sauce dressing. The other day, I followed the dish and made tasty gado-gado.
Making gado-gado sauce is really simple if you make use of a food processor like I did. It consists of boiled veggies such as cabbage, spinach, carrots, and green beans and is covered in massive quantities of peanut sauce, then topped with fried shallots, fried tofu, fried shrimp crackers, and a difficult boiled egg. The sauce is scrumptious however in little amounts - usually Jeff and I like to choose out the veggies that leave the flood.
