  • I'm gonna make Gado Gado which is basically a supercharged salad.

  • Originally from Indonesia, Gado Gado is a street food favourite.

  • Radishes, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, crunchy tofu. At it's heart is a truly delicious, spicy peanut

  • dressing that brings it all together.

  • Before I get cracking on the salad itself I need to make

  • the special Gado Gado dressing.

  • We've got 120 grams here of peanut butter. Then we're gonna go in with some

  • garlic and then we've got lime. Normally around 2 limes goes in.

  • Soy sauce, a tablespoon goes in, about a tablespoon of fish sauce. 1 tablespoon of tamarind

  • paste. You can get this in the supermarkets now. And then 50 grams of

  • palm sugar and this is very important, you know sweet and sour.

  • I'll put a little swig of olive oil in there and you can spice it up as much as

  • you like. I'll go one chili. You can leave the seeds in or take it out depending on

  • how hot you want it and then just whiz it up.

  • That goes into a nice serving dish. I'm gonna put it right around the edge of

  • this bowl. Next the salad. I've got some bean shoots here, we've got some really lovely

  • spinach, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, red cabbage. I've got some beetroot that I

  • dug up. Look how beautiful that is and the colour. Whoa! What a wonderful way to

  • love your five a day. I've got some tofu. You can cook it. I'm gonna do that to half

  • a little pack here. Just a little bit into a pan and we can just keep it moving. My

  • other cooked ingredients are boiled eggs and new potatoes. Perfect for soaking up

  • all the flavours of that dressing. So look at this tofu now. It's still very soft in

  • the middle and it's getting crispy on the sides.

  • Let's serve up. Display this in and around. Uncooked tofu at the bottom. You

  • know it's kind of getting overloaded with stuff now. And just have the

  • prawn crackers raining on top and this is kind of what it's all about really now

  • guys. We just scrape from the sides of the bowl to the middle and look there we

  • go everything's mixed up. Prawn crackers in on top. Let's have a little try. I just

  • love it. Everything food wise is happening in that mouthful. Oh

  • absolutely gorgeous.

I'm gonna make Gado Gado which is basically a supercharged salad.
