VEGETABLE SALAD WITH PEANUT SAUCE (GADO GADO)
This vegetable salad is an Indonesian standby. The vegetables-green beans, cauliflower, cabbage and spinach-are slightly cooked to retain their firmness, and a typical ground peanut sauce forms the basis of the dressing. In Indonesia, gado gado is often served by itself, or with crackers or boiled rice.This recipe is by Anne Willan and was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.

Steps:
- Step 1: In a large bowl, place 1/2 head shredded cabbage; pour boiling water over to cover; leave 1 minute; drain thoroughly. Set aside. Repeat process for 8 ounces bean sprouts, leaving only 10 seconds.
- Step 2: In boiling salted water, cook 8 ounces green beans until tender, but still firm, about 3 to 5 minutes; drain; refresh under cold running water; drain thoroughly. Cook 1 small cauliflower (divided into florets) in boiling salted water until tender, but still firm, about 5 to 7 minutes; drain thoroughly.
- Step 3: Wash 1 pound fresh spinach thoroughly; discard stems. Put spinach in large pan with 1/2 inch water; bring to boil; cover; cook over high heat until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes; drain thoroughly; chop coarsely.
- Step 4: All vegetables can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead and kept, covered, in refrigerator.
- Step 5: One hour before serving, arrange all cooked vegetables, along with 1 cucumber (peeled, seeded, and cut into sticks) in piles on a rectangular platter or in wedges on a round platter. Spoon peanut sauce over vegetables; leave to marinate 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.
- Step 1: In a frying pan, fry 1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) shelled fresh peanuts in 2 tablespoons peanut oil, stirring constantly until browned.
- Step 2: Transfer to food processor or blender with 1/2 chopped onion, 1 clove peeled garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried hot peppers, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Puree until very smooth, adding a little hot water if necessary so mixture churns well.
- Step 3: Work in more hot water, adding enough to make sauce that is thick enough to coat spoon. Transfer sauce to saucepan; simmer 2 minutes, stirring. Taste for seasoning. Note: Peanut sauce can be made up to 2 weeks ahead and kept, covered, in refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place your pulp in the first bowl and pour the hot water over it. Leave to soak for 10 minutes, mashing with a fork halfway through, to loosen the pulp.
- At the end of 10 minutes, mash it up well with your fingers. Strain the tamarind mix through a large mesh sieve or strainer, pushing down on the pulp in the strainer. You don't want a fine mesh, as you won't get the essence of the tamarind juice which will be too big to go through. Set aside until needed.
- Place the raw or blanched peanuts in a small frying pan over medium heat and toast for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low after 2 minutes, so the peanuts don't brown too quickly and burn.Keep tossing and flipping the peanuts until they are a light brown colour and giving off a sweet and nutty aroma.
- When done, tip the nuts onto a large, flat plate and leave to cool for for at least 15 minutes while you get the other ingredients going.
- Place the toasted peanuts in a chopper and pulse to a fine state. Set aside for adding to the sauce.
- Halve the onion, and roughly chop the chillies.
- Add the onion, garlic, chillies and dried shrimp to a food chopper and chop to a fine state. You could also use a pestle and mortar for this.
- Heat the oil in a mdium saucepan over medium heat.
- Fry the ground ingredients for 2 minutes.
- Tip in the peanuts and tamarind juice. Stir, then pour in the water and give it a stir to mix well. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the coconut milk, palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, sweet soy sauce and salt. Give it a good stir and bring back to a simmer. Lower the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes.I like the sauce to be fairly thick, so that it will stick to whatever you dip into it. If you want to drizzle it, just add a little more water to make it slightly runnier.
- Take it off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Check seasoning, and add a little more salt if you need it. The sauce is meant to be strong in flavour, like any salad dressing, as it's meant to be eaten with unseasoned vegetables.Leave the sauce until you are ready to serve.It can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge, covered.The sauce is served at room temperature, but you can have it hot, if you prefer.
- Eggs - boil the eggs, cool and peel them. Then halve or quarter them.
- Potatoes - scrub clean, then cut into bite-sized cubes. Boil them for about 7 minutes until a knife glides through easily. This will depend on the size of your cubes. Drain and set aside.
- Tempeh and Tofu - cut into bite-sized cubes and fry separately in a frying pan until crisp and lightly browned, about 3 minutes for each. Drain onto kitchen paper lined plates and set aside.
- Spinach - you can quickly blanch this in a pot of simmering water, or do like I do and use the microwave oven. Give them about 60 seconds, tossing halfway, so they cook uniformly.
- Green beans & Beansprouts - I prefer to leave these raw but you can blanch them in a pot of simmering water.
- Cucumber - cut these into sticks or chop them up roughly into bite-sized pieces like when served with satay.
- Cabbage - shred them or cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave them raw or blanch them, if you like.
- Tomatoes - halve or quarter, depending on size of the tomatoes you are using. I tend to leave cherry tomatoes whole.
- Salad Leaves - leave them whole or cut them, it's matter of preference.

GADO GADO (MIXED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH INDONESIAN PEANUT SAUCE)
Steps:
- Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, until fork-tender. Peel and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) cubes.
- Prepare a bowl or tub of ice water. Blanch the cabbage for 1 to 2 minutes, until translucent and wilted, and transfer to the ice bath. When cool, drain on kitchen towels. Set aside. Repeat with the spinach (30 seconds to 1 minute), bean sprouts (30 seconds to 1 minute) and green beans (3 to 4 minutes).
- Arrange the vegetables, eggs and tofu or tempeh on a large platter. Serve with a bowl of Indonesian Peanut Sauce, with the vegetable chips and fried shallots on small plates alongside. Each diner should pick and choose an assortment of ingredients to put on their plate. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of peanut sauce over the vegetables and top with vegetable chips and fried shallots. Stir everything together and enjoy!

GADO GADO (INDONESIAN SALAD WITH PEANUT SAUCE)
Recipe video above. Fun to say, delicious to eat, the Gado Gado peanut sauce will make any vegetables into a big, healthy, tasty meal! Use any veg you want - the ones I've used are in the spirit of traditional Indonesian Gado Gado. Using Thai Red Curry Paste is an effective shortcut - it uses a lot of the ingredients used in Gado Gado sauce. Saves time, effort and money!All the veg can be warm or at room temp, so cook them first. Tempeh/tofu is best hot and crispy fresh out of the skillet.
