How you make it

1. Make the Sauce : put all sauce ingredients to the mixer then mix it
2. Boil all the vegetables that have been cut until non- rigid ( you can taste it when it's boiling to make sure that the tecsture is good) then drain, continue with boiling eggs (optional)
3. While you're boiling the vegetables or eggs, fry the potatoes, tempe, tofu until golden brown then drain (optional)

Nb :

1. Making sauce first is better than you boiling the Vegetables first because you can measure the amount of Vegetables that you will be used (for the first try)
2. I suggest to use mortar and pestle to make the sauce, personally...it makes tastier
3. The tecsture of the sauce is not too thick and not too runny, so it'll be better if you pour the hot water with the least amount first

How? It's SIMPLE  right? I hope you like and enjoy the Gado - gado 😊
