Your blog is nice and I love it. Your gado-gado looks delicious, but it looks like salad. I’m an indonesian, I’d like to share something about gado-gado salad in Indonesia.
Gado-gado is made of vegetables and peanut sauce. We usually have cabbage, bean sprout, water spinach, chayote, long beans, corn (steamed or boil all of these veggies), we also have cucumber, fried tempe (Indonesian soybean cake) or tofu, eggs, and fried potato. We didn’t have broccoli, raddish or carrot in the past time. We just have the vegetables I’ve mentioned above, so if you made it using those veggies I’ve mentioned, it will be more authentic. For the peanut sauce, just like you’ve stated above, it’s using roasted peanut, chillies, garlic, salt, palm sugar, shrimp paste, tamarind water and lime juice. We usually grind the peanuts to make it more delicious, the result will be much different if you blend it in a food processor. If you want it to taste better, just add some roasted cashew nuts. After it’s done, we add some fried onions and kerupuk as garnish. Indonesian love kerupuk so much, hehehehe. It’s not healthy but we just love it!
Actually we have others sald like gado-gado which are using peanut sauce as the dressing. They are Karedok (the difference with gado-gado is the vegetables in Kareedok are raw veggies), gado-gado pengantin (we have some raw lettuce, cabbage and cucumber, and then boiled egg, the dressing is peanut sauce and we have kerupuk melinjo as the garnish), and the last is pecel (the veggies just like I’ve mentioned above, same like gado-gado but without corn, and the dressing is also peanut sauce). If you are interested in Indonesian food I’d love to share Indonesian recipe with you.

Thank you

In Indonesia, there are two differences between lontong and ketupat. Lontong is wrapped in banana leaves and moulded into a roll while ketupat is wrapped in coconut or pandan leaves and has a square form.
