Steamed vegetables with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower
1 small cabbage
1 cup string beans
½ cup bean sprouts
3 medium-sized potatoes
3 medium-sized carrots
(other preffered vegetables can be used)

Seasonings

1 Enak Eco bumbu gado-gado (instant salad dressing) *
2 tablespoons lime (or lemon) juice
1 hard-cooked egg, thinly slice, to garnish 4 shallots, thinly sliced and fried until crispy and golden brown (or fried onion) *
½ cucumber, peeled and sliced
Krupuk (shrimp crackers) *

 

Method

1.      Prepare the vegetables by cutting up the cauliflower into small florets, shredding the cabbage, slicing the beans, potatoes, and carrots, and rinsing the bean sprouts.

2.      Steam or boil the vegetables, starting with those which will need to cook the longest first (i.e., the potatoes followed by the carrots, then the cauliflower, beans, and cabbage. It is not really necessary to cook the bean sprouts at all). Make sure that the vegetables retain their crunchiness and their full color.

3.      For the dressing, cut EnakEco into slices for easy mixing, add with 150 cc of hot water, and stir the mixture well and simmer until the sauce thickens (you can add lime juice as you like).

4.      Arrange the vegetables as desired and pour the dressing over the top. (The vegetables are usually piled up on a large dish with the cabbage at the bottom and the garnishes placed on top before the dressing is poured over everything.

5.      They can alternatively be served in a large receptacle with separate sections with the dressing poured into the section in the middle).
