Gado Gado

Gado Gado is a rather typical Indonesian vegetarian dish serves with peanut sauce. Somehow it is also a popular dish in Singapore and Malaysia.

Vegetables Ingredients

Bean curd and Tempe cut into small pieces and fry them till golden brown on all side

Long bean, Beansprouts, Cabbage blenched them in boiling water for few mins but not too long as it will be too soft and soggy.

Hard boiled egg, cut into four pieces

Boiled potato cut them into small bite pieces.

Cucumber slice

Peanut sauce

One cup peanut roasted or fried them first then pounded them till smooth paste using mortar.

3 garlic pounded to paste

1/2 cup Coconut milk

5 red chilies discard the seeds blended to paste

1 tsp dried shrimp paste

I add few table spoon of Sweet chili sauce since my family do not eat too spicy and sweet chili helps to make it milder and sweeter.

In a sauce pan, combine all the mixture with the coconut milk. Stir occasionally on a low medium heat.

Place all blenched vegetables, bean curd, Tempe, hard boiled egg, potato on a plate and pour the peanut sauce.  Garnished with fried shallots and Shrimp crackers.
