Gado-gado is an Indonesian salad of slightly boiled, blanched
or steamed vegetables and hard-boiled eggs, boiled potato,
fried tofu and tempeh, and longtong (rice wrapped in a banana leaf),
served with a peanut sauce dressing.
In 2018, gado-gado was promoted as one of six national dishes
of Indonesia; the others are soto, sate, nasi goreng,
tumpeng and rendang.
The term gado or the verb menggado means to consume something
without rice. Gado-gado in Indonesian literally means
"mix-mix" since it is made of a rich mixture of vegetables such
as potatoes, longbeans, bean sprouts, bitter gourd, spinach,
chayote, corn and cabbage, with tofu, tempeh and hard-boiled eggs,
all mixed in peanut sauce dressing, sometimes
also topped with krupuk and sprinkles of fried shallots.
