- Someone asked recently for a recipe for Gado Gado. This one is taken from
- "Oriental Snacks and Appetizers" by Jacki Passmore. I have tried it out &
- it is pretty good.
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 1/2 medium lettuce
- 2 large cooked potatoes, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups (6oz) cooked green beans, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups (6oz) shredded cabbage, blanched
- 1 1/2 cups (6oz) fresh bean sprouts, blanched
- 3 tomatoes, sliced
- 4 hard boiled eggs, sliced
- 1 medium onion, cut into rings
- 2 green onions (scallions), chopped (optional)
- 1-2 fresh red chillies, seeded and shreddee
- fresh coriander, basil, mint or parsley
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pineapple chunks
- Shrimp crisps
-
- Peanut Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon thick soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3/4 cup (6 fl oz) thick coconut milk
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
- Line a salad bowl with the lettuce leaves and arrange the potato, beans,
- cabbage and bean sprouts on top. Surround with alternate slices of tomato
- and hard boiled egg and arrange onion rings, chopped green onion if used
- and shredded chilli on top. Add the fresh herbs.
-
- Heat an omelette pan and add vegetable oil, then spread over and wipe
- out. Beat the egg with the salt and pour into pan, spreading thinly
- across the bottom. Cook until firm then remove and leave to cool. Cut
- into thin shreds and pile in the centre of the salad. Decorate with
- pineapple chunks and shrimp crisps.
-
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Leave to cool. Serve separately to pour over the salad at the table.
-
- PS: You might have to adjust the amount of chilli you want if you are not
- used to the spicy foods. Enjoy!!
