Gado-Gado is one of the typical Indonesian foods, the original food from the city of Jakarta is very good for daily consumption. This food is a food that is rich in complete nutrition, food made from vegetables certainly does not contain much fat.
Gado-Gado itself is very popular in Indonesia and even in several countries in Southeast Asia, the deliciousness of this food is part of the food menu consumed for lunch.
In this post, I will take part in the Plant-based Cooking Challenge, my first post, hopefully, can provide benefits for all of you.
I serve Gado-Gado cuisine with great seriousness, knowing that as a man there is absolutely no time to cook, therefore I prepare this food with my younger sister who is very smart in the cooking process in the kitchen. To cook Gado-Gado food, there are several things or steps that we must prepare, for that I will present how to mix the Gado-Gado food.
Step 1.
The first thing I prepare in making Gado-Gado food is cooking utensils or processing ingredients/seasonings such as:
Stove.
Pan.
Tablespoon.
Cooking spoon.
Cobek and millstone.
Knife.
Cutting mat.
Cooking strainer.
Water kettle.
Cooking pot.
Step 2.
For the second step, what I do is prepare ingredients or cooking spices for the process of making this dish, while the ingredients I use are as follows:
Peanuts.
Long beans.
Bean sprouts.
Lettuce.
Cucumber.
Cabbage.
Potato.
Red chili pepper.
Cayenne pepper.
Aromatic ginger.
Red onion.
Garlic.
Lime leaves.
Coconut milk.
Kasturi orange.
Sugar.
Brown sugar.
Salt.
Water.
Cooking oil.
Step 3.
The next thing I did was fry the peanuts without using oil until they were cooked after that ground the peanuts until they were really smooth.
Step 4.
For the next thing I do is to process some ingredients into cooking spices that will be used for Gado-Gado cooking, as for the ingredients used as follows:
Grind some ingredients such as red chili, cayenne pepper, shallot, garlic and kencur, add a little sugar and salt and grind until smooth and really smooth. After that, crush the brown sugar into small particles.
Step 5.
The next thing I did was to prepare the cooking process for the processing of spices for Gado-Gado dishes, equipment needed for the cooking process. The needs listed above are all used for the cooking process, while the things to do are:
First, slice the onion, heat the pan with cooking oil then saute the sliced onion, then stir-fry the mashed spices, then add the lime leaves, stir-fry until evenly distributed and cooked, then add the mashed peanuts and mix all the ingredients. until smooth, add a little water to taste, sugar, salt, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly distributed, add lime juice, stir until boiling or cooked.
Next, boil some of the vegetables that we used in the second step, boil the vegetables until they are cooked, don't forget to wash the vegetables until they are completely clean. After the vegetable stew is done, cut some vegetables into several pieces.
Step 6.
Next is to serve Gado-Gado cuisine as a very delicious food, mix some boiled vegetables and then pour the vegetables with the cooked spices, then stir until evenly distributed. If it is evenly distributed, serve this food on the dining table to be enjoyed. But on this occasion I added a little egg and crackers as a complementary dish for a meal.
Gado-Gado is a very good food to be consumed in everyday life, this vegetarian food is also very liked by the former President of the United States, namely Barack Obama, the childhood of the former number one person in the United States was spent in Indonesia before he moved to the United States. Obama in his childhood was very fond of Gado-Gado food which is very good for consumption to maintain a healthy body.
