When I was a little child it makes me wonder why grandma named her scalded vegetables mixed with tangy peanut sauce "gaduh gaduh"...... ah huh...it's actually "Gado Gado". This dish is quite similar to Penang Indian Pasembur minus the fried fritters (flour stuff with prawns) ....
It is a healthy dish and can be served as lunch. I love having this dish for home parties or even during pot luck parties. It is easy to prepare except just need a little skill in preparing the "kuah" - tangy peanut sauce. The success of the dish comes from the good tasty "kuah"..
