Gado gado stir-fry

Gado gado stir-fry

Gado gado is a traditional Indonesian salad combining cabbage, a variety of vegetables, and eggs and served with peanut sauce. We took this "salad" to the pan for a quick stir-fry and added shredded chicken and a crispy fried egg for protein, creating a delightfully filling meal. Gado gado means "mix mix," so let's whip out that pan and get stirring!

Instructions

    Peanut dressing

  1. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, sriracha, and lime juice. If it's too thick for your liking, add one teaspoon of water at a time to thin it out. Set aside until ready to serve.
  2. Gado gado stir-fry

  3. Thinly slice the pointed cabbage, grate the carrots, trim and slice the sugar snap peas, and chop the red onion.
  4. In a large wok or frying pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and stir until translucent. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the cabbage, carrots, sugar snap peas, and bean sprouts to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the veggies start to wilt. Add the shredded chicken.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the tamari soy sauce and sambal oelek (if using) and add it to the pan. Stir until the chicken is warmed through and everything is combined.
  6. To serve

  7. In a separate frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and fry one egg per serving.
  8. Divide the stir-fry between plates, drizzle with peanut dressing, and top each serving with a fried egg and sliced scallions.

    This was fantastic! I often get bored with keto recipes - they're mostly a hunk of meat and baked veggies or something with way too much cheese. This is veggie heavy, loaded with flavor, and full of protein. What's extra great is that it's good cold the next day! Super versatile so I can throw in whatever veggies I have on hand. Thank you!!
