• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Trim the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin sticks, and slice the cabbage and cucumber into thin pieces.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, lightly fry the tofu in a teaspoon of oil until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.

Step 3

Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 15 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool slightly, peel, and cut into cubes.

Step 4

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes, then place under cold running water until cool. Peel and slice them into halves.

Step 5

Steam the spinach, green beans, and carrots separately for about 3-5 minutes each, until just tender yet crisp.

Step 6

To make the sugar-free peanut sauce, blend the garlic, chili peppers, coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and water in a blender until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

In a large serving dish, arrange the cabbage as a bed, then layer the cooked spinach, steamed carrots and green beans, cucumber slices, tofu cubes, potato cubes, and egg halves on top.

Step 8

Drizzle the sugar-free peanut sauce generously over the arranged vegetables and tofu.

Step 9

Serve the Gado Gado immediately, allowing everyone to mix the salad to their preference.
