Gado-Gado

 Gado-gado refers to an Indonesian salad made with slightly boiled, blanched, or steamed vegetables served with a peanut sauce dressing. It’s name literally means “mix-mix” and is in reference to the host of ingredients used to make it like hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, bean sprouts, tofu, tempeh, and krupuk.

Like soto, there exist several variations of gado-gado which are usually named after the region where they’re from. Examples include gado-gado padang, gado-gado betawi, and gado-gado sidoarjo.

Pictured below is a dish called lotek, which if I understand correctly, is a type of Javanese or Sundanese gado-gado.
