Pseudo Gado Salad

I adore Gado Gado and this is a cheat's version. Not that authentic, but scrummy none the less and very easy to throw together after work for a healthy feast.

For 3 portions you need:
3 eggs
2 carrots, cut into batons
1/2 cauliflower, broken into florets
small head broccoli, broken into florets
2 leaves from chinese leaf
2 large handfuls bean sprouts
1/2 cucumber, cut into fingers
1 red pepper, cut into strips
1/2 bunch spring onions, trimmed
1 pack marinated tofu

For the peanut sauce:
1/2 jar crunchy peanut butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp mirin
small can coconut milk

Place the sauce ingredients into a pan and simmer till everything has melted together and the garlic has lost its raw edge. Set aside.

Semi hardboil the eggs for 6-8 mins, then cool. Meanwhile blanche the carrots, cauli and broccoli. Assemble on a serving plate and share or alternatively shred the chinese leaves and scatter over the veggies finishing with a generous dollop of the satay sauce. Set the shelled and halved eggs on top. Omit the eggs for a vegan version.
