Gado Gado - Salad from Indonesia

On a hot Sunday like today a salad for lunch sounds great. School of Wok abd Beryl both made videos around the same time about this salad. The dressing is peanut based. Both made a bit different versions. 

I checked the Gado Gado on German food channels and found different ingredients too. 

And aside from that, tofu and tempe are often used to bulk out the salad. Since I hate both, I just ate hard boiled eggs with the salad. The salad was filling enough. 

These kinds of mixed cooked and raw veggies together are common around the world. I made the Clown Salad from Colombia last month, my Grandma's Summer Salad is the same mix.

Sauce:

3 tbsp roasted unsalted peanuts and 3 tbsp cashews, 2 tbsp peanut butter

2 tbsp fish sauce, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp ketchup manis

2 shallots, 1 garlic clove, 1 dried red chili, 100 ml coconut milk, 1 tbsp coconut flower syrup, salt and pepper

Veggies:

Potatoes, green beans, white asparagus

Tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions

2 eggs

Cook the upper 3 veggies and the eggs. Chop the raw veggies. Looking amazing means to show off all veggies separat on a plate. 

Put all dressing ingredients in a pestel and mortar and bash. Or use a food processor.
