Assortment of veggies such as:
Broccoli, steamed

Red and green cabbage, finely shredded
Thin slices of carrot, lightly steamed or raw
Mung bean sprouts

You can vary the veggies and their amounts. Also they can be cooked or raw – or some of each. Arrange everything on a platter or on individual plates.

• Bed of fresh spinach on bottom
• Yellow rice on the spinach
• Assortment of veggies on the rice
• Tofu and hard boiled eggs on veggies

Dressing:

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 heaping T grated ginger
1 heaping T minced garlic
3 T brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
4 T cider vinegar
2 T soy sauce
1 T Salt
Crushed red pepper to taste

Put everything in a blender and puree until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little extra water. Serve at any temperature, drizzled over gado-gado.

Final Toppings:

3 T peanut or canola oil
2 T ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup onion, finely minced
12 med cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

heat 1 T oil in a small skillet. Add ginger and saute over med heat for a minute or so, and then transfer to a small bowl. Repeat with onion and garlic, sauteing each separately in 1 T oil (8-10 mins for onion; 20 seconds for garlic). Place each in a small bowl. Place some or all of these toppings on the table with the gado-gado, so each person can liberally garnish his or her own portion.

Optional: shredded, unsweetened coconut (lightly toasted), crushed red pepper, slices of lemons, limes, oranges, apples, pineapple.
