After this add the beans/peas on the top varoma tray and cook another 5 mins, varoma speed 1
Once all cooked add to a bowl with all the raw salad ingredients and gently toss to roughly combine
Cook the eggs on the stove top now if you haven't pre-done this
Put the peanuts in the TM bowl and chop on speed 5 till it they are approx 2mm in size, remove 3 Tbs and set aside.Process the rest on speed 6-7 till resembling peanut butter, if it looks to dry, scrape down the sides and add some olive oil. Once smooth, set aside with the crunchy bits.

Arrange the mixed veg in the bowl on a platter, arrange the eggs around the edge, and tofu all over
Drizzle the warm satay sauce over the top and ENJOY!
Tip
Gado Gado meaning 'mixed mixed', is a Indonesian salad with peanut sauce. Some versions I have seen include chicken, carrots and/or tomatoes which are not traditional, and some peanut sauces have chicken stock or shrimp pastes. So my plan was to stick to the traditional recipe and make it vegetarian. This one has tofu which is traditional but it could easily not have it and still be very satisfying.
This recipe is enough to feed 4-6 and is a great meal to share

I love this recipe, especially the sauce. To make it a little quicker, I use a good quality organic peanut butter. I also vary the vegetables to what I have available at the time. Also, I use an air fryer to bake the tofu and make it a bit crispier.

incredible sauce! thank you
This recipe is worth it even if just for the authentic peanut satay sauce. Yumbo
Took a long time to make the first time, but so worth it!
Yum yum yum! The peanut sauce is amazing. I made a few changes with the vegetables but I guess you could use anything you like.
terima kasih banyak (thank you very much)

Icorn cob sliced - that would be the corn!
