Gado Gado vegetable Salad With Peanut Sauce

"Gado Gado is a vibrant Indonesian salad that combines fresh and steamed vegetables, tofu, tempeh, and boiled eggs, all generously drizzled with a rich, savoury peanut sauce. This dish is a perfect harmony of textures and flavours, balancing crisp veggies with creamy sauce and the subtle nuttiness of tempeh. To make Gado Gado, you'll need an assortment of vegetables like green beans, cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts, along with fried tofu and tempeh. The peanut sauce is the star, crafted from roasted peanuts, garlic, chili, tamarind, and a touch of coconut milk for a silky finish. Prepare the sauce in about 15 minutes while steaming or blanching the vegetables. The entire dish comes together in under 30 minutes, making it a quick yet satisfying option. Serve Gado Gado by layering the vegetables, tofu, tempeh, and sliced eggs on a platter. Drizzle the warm peanut sauce generously over the top, then garnish with fried shallots or crispy crackers for added crunch. For an authentic touch, include lontong, a compressed rice cake, on the side. A tip for making the best peanut sauce: blend the roasted peanuts until smooth, but leave some texture for an authentic feel. Adjust the chili to suit your spice tolerance, and if the sauce thickens, thin it out with a splash of warm water. Gado Gado is a meal on its own or a side dish for larger gatherings. It’s a delicious, wholesome way to enjoy a medley of fresh ingredients while experiencing the bold, earthy flavours of Indonesian cuisine."
