SPICY GADO - GADO

 Gado Gado is a popular Indonesian salad that features a mix of vegetables, tofu, tempeh, and hard-boiled eggs, all served with a flavorful peanut sauce. Here's a basic recipe for Gado Gado:

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

  • 200 grams of firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • 200 grams of tempeh, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as cabbage, green beans, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, and spinach), blanched or steamed until tender
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 medium-sized potato, boiled and cut into cubes (optional)
  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • Fried shallots or onions for garnish (optional)
  • Shrimp crackers (krupuk) for serving (optional)

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 150 grams of roasted peanuts, finely ground
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2-3 red chili peppers (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons of palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water
  • 1 tablespoon of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • Water (as needed to adjust consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce:

    • In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peanuts, garlic, red chili peppers, palm sugar, tamarind water, sweet soy sauce, and salt.

  2. Prepare the Salad Ingredients:

    • Steam or boil the tofu and tempeh cubes until they are cooked through. You can also pan-fry them for extra crispiness if desired.
    • Blanch or steam the mixed vegetables until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
    • Boil the potato until tender, then cut it into cubes (if using).
    • Slice the cucumber and hard-boiled eggs.

  3. Assemble the Gado Gado:

    • Arrange the cooked tofu, tempeh, mixed vegetables, potato (if using), cucumber slices, and hard-boiled eggs on a serving plate.
    • Sprinkle fried shallots or onions over the top for added flavor and texture (if using).

  4. Serve:

    • Serve the Gado Gado with the prepared peanut sauce on the side.
    • Optionally, serve shrimp crackers (krupuk) on the side for extra crunch.

  5. To eat, drizzle the peanut sauce over the salad or dip each bite into the sauce.

Enjoy your delicious Gado Gado, a flavorful and nutritious Indonesian salad!
