Gado Gado
Boiled vegetables and fried tofu drowned in peanut sauce. A salad that eats like a meal.
Ingredients
- 250g cabbage, parboiled
- 250g cauliflower florets, boiled
- 250g carrots, diced and boiled
- 3 potatoes, boiled and sliced
- 1 lettuce, shredded
- 3 cucumbers, seeded and sliced
- 200g tofu, fried and sliced
- 1 cup peanut sauce
- 5 shallots, fried crisp
Method
- Boil each vegetable separately so they each stop at the right point, then cool them.
- Arrange them in sections in a wide bowl over the lettuce, with the tofu on top.
- Peanut sauce spooned over — thin it with warm water if it's stiff.
- Crisp shallots scattered last. They're what makes it.
