Gado-Gado (Vegetable Salad with Peanut Sauce)

A "salad" that's actually a rich, warm-sauced dish, not a cold side.

Blanched vegetables, tofu, and boiled egg tossed in a thick, spiced peanut sauce — a full meal despite looking like a side dish.

Why it's made this way: The dish reflects Indonesia's abundant use of peanut sauce as a base flavor across many street dishes, not just one.
