<p class="">The first Indonesian gado gado recipe is believed to have originated in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. The name comes from the Indonesian word "gado-gado," which means "mix-mix." The peanut sauce dressing is made with ground peanuts, coconut milk, and a variety of spices and seasonings, and is traditionally served on the side, allowing the diner to adjust the amount of sauce to their liking. Gado-gado is a popular street food in Indonesia and is commonly served at food stalls and small restaurants throughout the country.</p>

<p class="">What is tempeh, you ask? It is an Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans and a popular protein source in Indonesian and other Southeast Asian cuisines. The fermentation process used to make tempeh results in the growth of a white, mushroom-like fungus on the surface of the soybeans, which binds them together into a cake-like shape. Tempeh has a nutty, savory flavor and a firm, chewy texture. It can be sliced, diced, or crumbled and used in a variety of dishes, including stir-fries, sandwiches, and salads. For this Indonesian gado gado recipe, you can usually find tempeh at Whole Foods or any natural grocer near the tofu/vegetarian protein section.</p>
