Provided by our partners in Singapore, JELCO, this recipe was featured during the FHA2018 show in Singapore in April.
Try gado-gado sauce paired with blanched vegetables, tofu and hard-boiled eggs for a distinctive taste of Indonesian cuisine -- in 2018, the recipe in its full salad form was promoted as a national dish of Indonesia. Though it appears similar at first glance because it features peanuts as a key ingredient, don't confuse it with satay, its (arguably) more famous cousin.
