How to: Make gado gado - a photo tutorial

So I finally talked to my favorite gado gado ladies about a gado gado lesson. A lesson is a bit of a stretch, because all it really requires is combining ingredients, but they were excited about me taking pictures so I could share the tasty dish with everyone back in America.

Ingredients:
-Ginger
-Garlic
-Peppers
-Salt
-Peanuts
-Sugar
-Steamed/Lightly Cooked Vegetables (green beans, cabbage, bean sprouts, leafy greens)
-Fresh Vegetables (cucumber, tomatoes)
-Lontong (compressed rice cake)
-Tofu

First, gather ginger, garlic, peppers, and salt. These ingredients are based on personal taste preferences.

Combine them in your giant stone mortar and pestle, and grind away.

Add peanuts to your grinder until you have about 3/4 of a cup.

Break off a chunk of sugar.

Add the sugar and ground peanuts, plus a little water, to the mortar and pestle. Grind it all up together.

Add veggies, woohoo!

Then tofu, and lontong.

Play with a cute baby.

Then mix it all up! And top it off with some krepuk.

Bon appetit!
