Tip

Gado Gado meaning 'mixed mixed', is a Indonesian salad with peanut sauce. Some versions I have seen include chicken, carrots and/or tomatoes which are not traditional, and some peanut sauces have chicken stock or shrimp pastes. So my plan was to stick to the traditional recipe and make it vegetarian. This one has tofu which is traditional but it could easily not have it and still be very satisfying.

This recipe is enough to feed 4-6 and is a great meal to share

    I love this recipe, especially the sauce. To make it a little quicker, I use a good quality organic peanut butter. I also vary the vegetables to what I have available at the time. Also, I use an air fryer to bake the tofu and make it a bit crispier.

    Seems to me all the potatoes go in at the beginning.

    Icorn cob sliced - that would be the corn!

    If this is the basis for your star rating then I'm glad I checked this out - let's make that star rating a little fairer!
