Vegan Gado Gado with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Gado-gado is a dish that originates from Indonesia, consisting of lightly boiled or steamed veggies, served together with a peanut sauce. Considering my love for peanut butter, and the fact that Robin is part Indonesian, it may come as no surprise that this meal is on weekly rotation in our home. Robin's addition of sun-dried tomatoes to this is not something traditionally used, but it's incredibly divine!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 medium onion
  • 4 garlic clove
  • 2 cup mock chicken pieces
  • 4 cup green beans
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 1/3 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sambal oelek
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a sauté pan over high heat. Cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the mock chicken pieces. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the green beans and boiling water to the now-empty pan. Cover with a lid and cook at a gentle simmer for 7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package instructions.

  5. 5

    Add all the ingredients for the peanut sauce to a small food processor and blend until smooth.

  6. 6

    Add the bell pepper to the pan with green beans. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes. A bit of remaining water is fine, but drain any excess beyond 1- 2 Tbsp.

  7. 7

    Add the onion and mock chicken mixture back into the pan, along with the sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, and sambal. Cook until heated through.

  8. 8

    Serve with rice, top with the peanut sauce, and enjoy!
