1. Gado-gado
Gado-gado is the one salad
from Indonesia that needs no introduction. The creamy, sweet, sour, and spicy
peanut sauce is really what makes this a great salad. If there is such a thing
as a national salad, this gado-gado will be it. Gado-gado is
one of Indonesia's most favourite dish everywhere in the world. It is actually
vegetable salad dressed in specially prepared peanut sauce. In Indonesia, there
are a few dish that resemble gado-gado (with the same kind, or a variation of
peanut sauce), such as pecel, lotek, and ketoprak. Pecel and lotek is the
closest to gado-gado, so people often mistake them as gado-gado. Preparation of
gado-gado is mainly the preparation of the peanut sauce. There are many
gado-gado recipes in the Internet, but most of them advice the use of peanut
butter or freshly fried peanut grinded with a blender. But the original
traditional Indonesian gado-gado uses cobek batu (Indonesian style stone
pestle). This is one of the ingenous Indonesian food preparation technique.
