Brilio.net - Indonesian specialties served with peanut sauce are indeed diverse. There are lotek, pecel, siomay, to gado-gado. Of the many choices, gado-gado is one of the favorite dishes of many people. Some people even consider gado-gado as an authentic Indonesian vegetable salad.
How to make gado-gado is also fairly easy. You just boil various types of vegetables according to taste. In general, the vegetables used are carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts , long beans, and winged beans. After that, the boiled vegetables are simply doused with peanut sauce.
In order for the gado-gado peanut sauce to have a thick texture, usually some people will add boiled potatoes to the mixture. However, if too many boiled potatoes are used, the gado-gado sauce will actually taste disgusting when eaten.
To get around this, you can follow the recipe shared by YouTube user Dapur Cantik Channel. In one of her YouTube video uploads, this woman shares a recipe and tutorial for making gado-gado seasoning that is thick, savory, and not nauseating.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Dapur Cantik Channel on Tuesday (24/9), prepare the main ingredients first. This netizen uses 250 grams of steamed sweet potatoes as a substitute for potatoes and 250 grams of fried peanuts.
"So the ratio is one to one of cassava to peanuts," he said.
