Gado-Gado, Traditional Peanut Sauce
If you are a fan of peanut butter, you will definitely enjoy this recipe. Gado-Gado is an Indonesian dish with an amazing spicy sweet peanut sauce, which served on either raw or steamed vegetables. The best part of the recipe is the great variety of vegetables you can come up with it, since the secret is in the sauce. I personally love to add tempeh or tofu and cook them in the sauce for a while.
