Gado Gado

Indonesian delicacy - Gado Gado. Simply another type of salad with a switch of taste ! The ingredients are to your likes. Alternatively you can google for some reference. Here i have prepared : blanched cauliflowers, blanched beans, blanched carrots, blanched potatoes, blanched beancurd, and some fresh cucumbers ! I like the peanut sauce, it tasted very unique !!

For the sauce, you will need :
200 g raw peanuts without skin - toasted
4 tbsp grilled sesame seeds (optional)
60 g palm sugar or coconut sugar or canned sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp of tamarin : 2 tbsp water
juice from 1 lime or 1/2 lemon
2 cups of water

Depending on your salad ingredients and pax, you will need more peanuts to make the sauce thicker. Alternatively you can add some starch like what i did.

1. Cool completely the peanuts then put into a mixer + grilled sesame seeds. Pulse it a few times (be careful not to turn it into paste) and transfer to a pot.

2.  Add in the water and stir in the rest of the other ingredients. On the fire. Bring to boil. At this part, if you feel that is too watery, prepare some starch. Off fire when is done.

3. Serve hot ! Miam !!
