Gado gado: Indonesion vegetable side dish with saté sauce
Gado gado is an Indonesian sidedish. Kind of like a salad with crunchy, briefly cooked vegetables: mostly green beans, carrots, cabbage and bean sprouts. Topped with saté sauce (Indonesian peanut sauce) and peanuts, fried onions or roasted coconut. But my saté sauce is Paleo and Medical Medium friendly, so it has no peanuts, soy or dairy.
