Gado gado is a classic, traditional Indonesian salad drizzled with a luscious. mouthwatering peanut sauce which has a rich, nutty flavor and a delightful creamy texture. Gado gado is such a hearty and filling salad that it can easily be eaten as a complete meal. A variety of vegetables can be used for this salad - like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, french beans, kangkong etc. Preparing the vegetables is no big deal, just remember
to allow the water for blanching to return to a rolling boil after adding each vegetable to ensure they are cooked according to the times allocated. DRAIN the blanched vegetables and rinse under cold water to refresh. For the potatoes - cooked them with skin on until fork tender, peel skin away and then cubed. The only tedious prep is making the Peanut Sauce -if you have 'sambal paste' ready, it is not a big deal. It will be easier if you don't want the roast the peanuts - use crunchy peanut butter..
