印尼加多加多沙拉 Vegetarian Gado Gado Lontong

Gado Gado is an Indonesian salad consisting of boiled or blanched vegetables, hard boiled eggs, tofu, tempeh and lontong served with peanut sauce dressing. It is a well received delicacy whenever we have guest here from Malaysia. 
加多加多是印尼道地出名的沙拉，一般上都是以煮或烫熟的蔬菜，鸡蛋，炸豆腐，豆豉及香蕉叶包裹形式的米糕再配上沙爹花生酱享用的。每当我家有客人从马来西亚到来时，一定会制做这道非常吃香的菜肴让他们品尝。


Those who have tasted my maid's home cooked vegetarian version expressed keen interest on trying making it on their own. Based on their positive feedback, this onion and garlic free vegetarian version actually taste better than the regular store bought ones.

他们只要吃了我家女庸制做的全素版加多加多后都会大大赞好而向我讨食谱。他们还说这全素版的印尼沙拉其实比外面商店贩卖现成的还要好吃。

I am thankful towards my maid who took the trouble to adapt this delicious Gado Gado Lontong to a vegetarian version so that more people can have the opportunity to try it.
我也很感恩于我家的女庸，她花了不少心思特别为我把食谱修改成一道无葱蒜全素版的加多加多，以让更多人士能够享用。

The process may seem lengthy but I assure you that it will be worth the effort when people come back asking for more.
虽然这菜肴的准备时间稍为长，制做出来的成品决定不会令你失望，甚至他人还会再添加也说不定。
