This gado-gado is a great way to use up leftover rice. Simply add the rice to the salad and toss to coat. You can also add other leftover grains, such as quinoa or barley.

I love that this gado-gado is a customizable dish. You can add or remove vegetables depending on your preferences. You can also adjust the spiciness of the peanut sauce by adding more or less chili peppers.

This gado-gado is a great make-ahead meal. You can make the peanut sauce and cook the vegetables ahead of time, and then assemble the salad just before serving.

This gado-gado is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I used a mix of carrots, celery, and broccoli, and it turned out great. The peanut sauce is also very versatile. I've used it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and as a marinade for chick
