GADO-GADO PROCEDURE

1. Prepare your vegetables. Boil the potatoes. Slice tomatoes, cucumber, red radishes, and potatoes into thin, broad pieces.

2. Finely shred the purple cabbage.

3. For the sauce, put all the ingredient­s into the blender and blend until well-mixed. The result should be a tad sweet from the sugar and peanut butter, but with notes of chili.

4. Place peanut sauce on a plate. Then, assemble all other ingredient­s on top.
