Gado-gado is my favorite Indonesian salad. This Sundanese dish is a national favorite, and it consists of lightly boiled and blanched vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, boiled potatoes, fried tofu and/or tempeh cubes, and lontong (steamed rice cakes) served with spicy peanut sauce.

Steps to make Gado Gado / Indonesian style salad with peanut sauce:
  1. In my case, I use raw peanuts. If you have unsalted roasted peanuts, it is easier. You may skip the pan fried peanuts in oil. In a pan, heat 3 tbsp cooking oil, pan fry the peanuts for 5-8 minutes. Transfer it on the plate with napkin. Let it cool down. Afterward, remove the skin of the peanuts (optional). I do it to reduce the bitterness of the peanuts skin.
  2. Ground the peanuts with food processor/mortar and pestle. Add little dash of oil, salt, sugar/palm sugar, chili powder, fresh chili.
  3. Ground it for 1-2 minutes. It is done and you may store it in the fridge.
  4. When you want to eat it, take 2 tbsp of peanut paste and mix it well with 3-4 tbsp water and 1/4 tsp tamarind paste (optional). Mix it well. You may add water if you like the sauce thinner.
  5. Other options: in a non-stick pan, heat 1 tsp cooking oil, stir fry chopped onions, add the peanut pastes, tamarind paste, 2 tbsp water. Stir fry it in low heat until the paste a bit thicker.
  6. Prepare the boiled vegetables, eggs, fried tofu and anything that you love, crackers.
  7. Pour the peanut sauce on top of boiled vegetables. Enjoy it.
