Gado-gado offers a complex and balanced flavor profile that combines fresh, savory, sweet, and spicy elements. The richness of the peanut sauce complements the refreshing crunch of the vegetables and the subtle flavors of tofu and tempeh.
The main flavors come from the creamy peanut sauce, which is traditionally made with ground peanuts, chilies, garlic, shallots, kaffir lime leaves, palm sugar, and tamarind juice. This sauce coats the blanched or boiled vegetables like spinach, long beans, bean sprouts, cabbage, and potatoes. Additional ingredients like tofu, tempeh, and hard-boiled eggs add protein and texture. A sprinkle of fried shallots and prawn crackers (krupuk) often adds extra crunch and savoriness.
Funzionalità Premium
Peanut Sauce Perfection
Adjust the amount of chilies, palm sugar, and tamarind juice to your preferred level of sweetness, spiciness, and sourness in the peanut sauce. Roasting the peanuts before grinding enhances their flavor.
Vegetable Preparation
Don't overcook the vegetables. Blanching or lightly boiling them preserves their crunch and nutritional value. Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve gado-gado immediately after assembling to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy. Offer krupuk (prawn crackers) on the side for added texture and flavor.
