Gado Gado. Sounds squeaky? Or many of you guys already knew?
It’s a tasty Indonesian comfort food. If you go to Indonesia, you can find the salad every warung (street cart, or small shop)
Normally with boiled vegetables and tofu, eggs, sweet peanuts vinaigrette. 

This is Gado gado in Japanese - western fusion. When I was looking at Smitten Kitchen's cookbook, one of the recipe reminds me Gado Gado. I don't know she meant the recipe inspired by the salad, but the sauce looks similar to it. She made it broccoli and crispy fried tofu. This combination sounds like New yorker's vegan comfort food (to me haha).I'm long time fan for her cooking.
So inspired by her recipe, I tried to make it into my own style. 
The method of fried crispy tofu is basically the same as Japanese "agedashi tofu".
Roasted broccoli and green beans gives nice texture to the salad.

I didn't use peanuts - and the vinaigrette is my original version.
