Ingredients


150g bean sprouts


100g cucumber (sliced)


100g snow peas


100g tomato (chopped)


150g green beans (sliced)


100g spinach (chopped)


100g broccoli (chopped)


100g cauliflower (chopped)


100g cabbage (chopped)


100g carrot (sliced)


150g boiled potato (diced)


100g tofu (diced) or 100g fried tempe (chopped)


3 hard-boiled eggs (sliced)


Fried Krupuk (prawn crackers)


Peanut sauce


 


Method


Wash vegetables, and prepare by cutting, slicing and dicing (note: the quantities listed above are approximate).


 


The hard vegetables may be partly boiled or steamed, or may be left raw if preferred.


 


Arrange vegetables (except tomato and cucumber) on a serving plate in layers or in a random mixture, and top with bean sprouts, fried tempe / tofu, and eggs.


 


Pour the peanut sauce over the vegetable platter.


 


For a warm gado-gado, the platter may be gently heated in a warm oven for a short time before serving, although many people prefer gado-gado as a cool salad.

To serve, garnish the dish with fried krupuk, tomato and cucumber.
