Tipat Cantok (Gado - Gado Recipes)

 


Gado Gado is a classic Indonesian salad featuring a colorful array of vegetables, tofu, tempeh, and boiled eggs, all topped with a creamy peanut sauce. Here's a recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

For the salad:

  • 200g green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 200g bean sprouts
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium potato, boiled, peeled, and sliced
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and julienned or grated
  • 200g firm tofu, cut into cubes and fried until golden
  • 200g tempeh, cut into cubes and fried until golden
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 small lettuce, shredded
  • Fried shallots, for garnish (optional)
  • Kerupuk (Indonesian crackers), for serving (optional)

For the peanut sauce:

  • 200g roasted peanuts, finely ground
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 2 red chili peppers, minced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons palm sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the peanut sauce: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, shallots, and red chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown.

  2. Add the finely ground roasted peanuts to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the aromatics.

  3. Pour in the tamarind water, palm sugar, salt, and coconut milk. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together, about 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Blanch the green beans and bean sprouts in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.

  5. Arrange the blanched vegetables, cucumber slices, potato slices, julienned carrot, fried tofu, fried tempeh, hard-boiled eggs, shredded cabbage, and shredded lettuce on a large serving platter.

  6. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the top of the salad or serve it on the side.

  7. Garnish the Gado Gado with fried shallots (if using) and serve with kerupuk on the side for added crunch.

  8. Toss the salad well just before serving to combine all the ingredients and flavors.

  9. Enjoy your Gado Gado as a delicious and nutritious meal!

Feel free to customize the salad with additional vegetables or proteins according to your preference. Gado Gado is often served with rice or lontong (compressed rice cakes) for a more substantial meal.
