Gado-gado Totally Explained

Everything about Gado-gado totally explained

Gado-gado is a traditional dish in Indonesian cuisine, and comprises a vegetable salad served with a peanut sauce dressing. It is widely served in hotels and restaurants in Indonesia, and in Indonesian restaurants in other countries.

Ingredients

Vegetable salad

The exact composition of the vegetable salad varies, but usually comprises some mixture of

shredded or chopped green vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, green beans, watercress, and bean sprouts;
other sliced vegetables such as carrots and cucumber;
long bean;
tomatoes;
tofu;
tempeh;
sliced boiled potatoes; and
peeled and sliced boiled eggs.

With the exceptions of the eggs and the potatoes, the salad may be served raw, although optionally one may blanch some of the vegetables such as the cabbage and the cauliflower. Some cooks prefer to steam the vegetables. In some areas of Indonesia, they also mix in small amounts of cooked noodles.

Peanut sauce dressing

What distinguishes gado-gado from a plain vegetable salad is the peanut sauce dressing, which is poured on top of the vegetable salad before serving. The composition of this peanut sauce varies as well. One may use a commercial Indonesian peanut sauce or satay sauce, or make the sauce oneself. For making the sauce, the common primary ingredients are:

ground fried peanuts with most of the oil drained off

garlic

coconut sugar/palm sugar (can substitute brown sugar)

red chili sauce, cayenne pepper, or red curry powder

lemon or lime juice optional extras include:

terasi (dried shrimp/fish paste)
