Gadogadoveggieswithpeanutsauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. When hot, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and add the tofu slices. Season the tofu well with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Cut tofu into squares or triangles.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for about 4 minutes or until just tender. Just before the beans are ready, add cabbage and bean sprouts to the pot and shock them in the water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the vegetables to a colander, refresh under cold water and drain well.
• Bring the same pot of water (add more water and salt, if required) to the boil, and add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the satay sauce: Place the peanuts, sliced shallots, garlic and chile into a blender or food processor, and blitz until it becomes a chunky paste. You can add a splash of water to get the blender going, or if you prefer a smoother paste. (It is traditional to use a mortar and pestle to make the paste, so if you have one, use it.)
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and add the paste, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the kecap manis, palm sugar, salt and 1 cup water. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce is well combined. (Peanut sauce can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for 7 days.)
• To serve, divide the blanched vegetables, potatoes, tofu, cucumber, tomatoes and eggs over several serving plates or assemble it all on one large serving platter. Drizzle each plate generously with the peanut sauce and top with crispy fried shallots.

Steps:

• Mix tomato-vegetable juice, vegetable broth, tomatoes, avocados, cucumber, canned tomatoes with juice, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, olive oil, green onions, lemon juice, cilantro, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Place mushrooms, red bell peppers, and red onion in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, grill seasoning, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; pour over vegetables. Toss to coat and allow vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove vegetables from the marinade, and shake off excess. Reserve remaining marinade.
• Grill vegetables on preheated grill until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer grilled vegetables to a large platter. Whisk remaining marinade with balsamic vinegar; pour over vegetables. Top with avocado and goat cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil to serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the veggies however you best like them. Steamed, fresh, parboiled, fried. Whatever you like. Cut everything to bite size. Any veggies are fine, above is just a list of ideas.
• Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic and cook low for 8 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add the chili and shrimp paste and cook another minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir until well mixed.
• Return to heat and add coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Reduce the heat; add kecap manis and tomato sauce. Simmer another minute and allow to cool.
• Arrange the vegetables on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. Leave most of the sauce in a bowl for dipping.

Steps:

• For the Gado Gado:.
• Place the tofu in a shallow bowl and put a small plate directly on top of the tofu. Put something heavy, like a can of soup on the plate and leave for 20 minutes. Drain away excess water and chop the tofu into cubes. Return cubes to the bowl and toss with the soy sauce, leaving to marinade for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for another 20 minute.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in another frying pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the marinaded tofu for 2-3 minutes each side until golden. Set aside and keep warm.
• Bring large pan of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook 2 minutes more. Add the broccoli and cook further 2 minutes. Add the snow peas for 1 minute, then drain all the vegetables in a colander.
• For the Sambal Kacang:.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, then sauté until soft. Add the spices and stir until fragrant, cooking approx 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well, it should be quite thick, over medium heat. Remove from the heat until ready to serve.
• You may need to add a little bit of water if too thick or when re-heating.
• To serve, heat the Sambal Kacang until hot (add water if too thick). Divide the vegetables amongst the tofu and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with pea shoots, sprouts and/or hard-boiled eggs.
