Indonesian Javanese Raw Veggie Salad (Karedok)

Karedok is Indonesian peanut-dressing-based-raw-salad that symbolizes the people's closeness to mother nature's resources. Compared to gado-gado that contains cooked vegetables and saucy dressing, karedok only uses raw vegetables and thick dressing. The main vege that you must use is sprout (any kind of sprout), long beans, and lettuce. You definitely can mix and match other kind of raw vegetables you want. Make sure all the veggies are washed thoroughly to prevent any food borne illnesses. Use LESSER GALANGAL, not GALANGAL as they are different in flavor. Here is the quick tutorial https://www.instagram.com/reel/CYAxklglobZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link TIPS: 1. Some people may not tolerate the strong spice level, therefore adjust accordingly. 2. 100% peanut provide the best and authentic taste. If you want to mix with other nut, just replace 10% - 20% of the peanut. 3. Roast the peanut until deep browned for maximum taste and flavor. 4. Add more water to the peanut dressing until the consistency is like a cookie dough but slightly softer.
