It has been awhile, again?! Yes again. Have been busy with life outside blogging, but not outside the internet. I just realized that i have so many food pictures which recipe i have not yet posted. That i am not sure that i still store the modified recipes in my head, as i never really follow the original recipes.
Okay, lets see...if i can still call back what i made... as i have made 2 gado-gado recipes for the past one month. Gado-gado is typical Indonesian food, which means mix. It is kind of salad with mixed veggies, depending to your own taste. Every house has its own recipe, but they always use peanuts as the main ingredients. I used peanut butter as ingredients because i am too lazy using the real peanuts, breaking up the skins, it hurts!
What makes it so special about gado-gado, like i implicitly said, is the sauce, of course, while you can use your fave veggies to be mixed. You can use blanched water spinach, spinach, sliced cauliflower, cut Asian long beans, sprouts, batavia, sweet corns, boiled eggs, etc.
Almost everybody in Indonesia loves Gado-gado, thus it is a very common food that you can find everywhere, while in Indonesia, they have their own local name to call it with several modifications of ingredients for the sauce of course (kupat tahu in Bandung, tipat tahu in Bali, Karedok- Sundanese and Pecel for the Javanese for other modification of gado-gado).
What is common about gado-gado is that you eat it with rice cake. (lontong or ketupat). As usual, i am also too lazy to follow the real complicated rice cake recipe, thus i just boil a bag of instant rice for an hour (until they fill the bag tightly), and cool it in the fridge for 1 hour to make it hard.
