Gado-Gado (Salad wt Peanut Sauce)

I stored some leftover peanut satay sauce from last month in freezer. I plan to make gado gado with the leftover peanut sauce I had for compressed rice..Recently I shop at Asian market and looking for Tempe but unfortunately no Tempe can be found ,maybe I didn't open my eyes wide enough or ask around.Anyway,I bought regular firm tofu and plenty of fresh vegetable for this salad.Gado-gado is a traditional dish in Indonesian cuisine, and is comprised of a vegetable salad served with a peanut sauce dressing. Although it is to be eaten as a main meal, many Western countries describe it simply as a salad with peanut sauce.






Ingredients:
I head broccoli,cut floret and blanched
1/2 lb mung bean sprout,clean and blanched
2 pieces firm bean curd(tofu) cut strip or cube and pan -fried
2 nos hard boiled eggs,cut halves
1 cucumber,peeled and shredder
1 small jicama(turnip or sengkung) ,peeled and shredder
1 carrot,peeled and shredder
1/2 lb snack bean or long bean,cut 2 inch and blanched
1 cup or more peanut satay sauce *I puree and re-heat peanut sauce before serve*
Yield for 2 person
Method:
Pour the peanut satay sauce over the vegetable(salad) platter and mix well before serve.
Note:
You can use any type vegetable of your favourite like cabbage,watercress,string bean,bitter melon or boiled potatoes. Hop over HERE for peanut sauce recipe!
