Green Delight With Authentic Peanut Sauce

A fresh morning is worth living with a fresh breakfast without much processing.

Food that is processed with many cooking steps is not only troublesome and time consuming. Apart from that, it can also reduce and even use up the nutrients in these food ingredients.

Currently my focus is on getting maximum nutrition from the food I get. So, I didn't lose any money (I even had to buy some vegetables at expensive prices with supplies that were hard to find in the market).

But I'm not really someone who can eat raw vegetables. So, usually I use the method of boiling, or steaming, or stir-frying with a little oil. As much as possible, I avoid adding flour and then frying these food ingredients.

Being used to eating less processed food makes my tongue feel strange if I eat food with a lot of processing. Well, I guess we just have to get used to it.

Like for example for breakfast. I got used to eating lots of vegetables without rice or potatoes, or sweet potatoes. Also, I will eat fruit if I run out of vegetables for breakfast.




Less processing doesn't mean it tastes completely bad. In fact, we have to be creative to create flavor combinations that work well. For example, to make a sauce that feels strong so that the main ingredients can be covered well.

That's why, this time I will make peanut sauce to help the less processed vegetables taste delicious. Peanut sauce served with vegetables is inspired by our traditional menu called gado-gado.

For the sauce, you can use instant peanut sauce mixed with a little olive oil and sesame seeds if you don't have a supply of fresh peanuts in your area.

Another note, of course you can replace the vegetables in my recipe with local vegetables available in your area. For example, asparagus, can be replaced with broccoli; edamame can be replaced with peas; romaine lettuce can be replaced with cabbage or more.

I called my creation this time Green Delight With Peanut Sauce. Do you have another name that might be more beautiful than mine?

  • 1/2 cup of fresh peanuts
  • some of red chilies according to own spicy preference

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing Asparagus

7F74FE9A-3C0C-4205-9A2F-D1186470F840.jpeg

Remove thin skin from asparagus with a potato peeler. Then cut into pieces according to your taste.




Boiling Asparagus and Edamame

1BAB0245-8E5F-44E1-967D-228D34507CB8.jpeg

Bring water to a boil. Then add the chopped asparagus with a tablespoon of salt. Cook them for about five minutes, or according to your preferred level of texture doneness.


Once you have finished boiling the asparagus, do not throw away the water in the pan. Boil edamame for about 5 minutes.

If you don't use edamame but use peas, so feel free to skip this step.




Roasting Peanuts

Roast peanuts until they change color. Pay attention not to let it burn too much because it will cause a bitter taste when it becomes a sauce later.




Pounding Roasted Peanuts

I use a traditional tool for pounding roasted peanuts. For an easier way, you can use a Chopper or food processor. Then, set it aside.




Mixing Onions and Chillies

DEB7AA3B-3101-442E-A49D-51DD04791DE2.jpeg

Mix red onion, garlic together and pound them well. Don't over-pound.

Add brown sugar just before finishing the pounding session. Then set it aside.




Cooking Peanut Sauce

F1ECB6D8-E9D5-433E-8F75-2577592D62A6.jpeg

Heat olive oil or whatever your vegetable oil stock. Add pounded chillies, keep stirring to avoid burning.


E90EA648-1F78-40B5-AB4A-7715E15819CB.jpeg

Then add pounded peanuts. Also, 100 ml of water, and salt. You can also add vegetable broth instead if you are a vegetable-broth lover.

Bring them simmer, then the peanut sauce is ready to use.




SERVING WAYS

F4090FE3-04AB-42CE-A1B5-278A2BDC66F6.jpeg

Arrange all the veggies on a serving plate. Starting from lettuce, asparagus, edamame, and slices of cucumber.

Then, pour peanut sauce over the veggies. You can also top them with fried onions for extra crunchy and savory taste!

I really love this way to enjoy vegetables without many veggie processing ways. Really suitable for healthy breakfast and you are still learning to love vegetables.

Authentic sauces tailored to your individual tastes can be very helpful for enjoying less-processing veggies!

❤️❤️❤️ See you Veggie Lovers.

This is one recipe that I'd love to try but I think I'll use other vegetables. I don't think I've had peanut sauce and I also think if mix vegetables in the sauce while stirring. I usually love combinations like that. This is such a delight!🤗

This looks lovely and way more complex than mine! I also made a peanut sauce today, but I made a very quick one with so many steps taken out. This one looks absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing! I am going to try this next time I cook. Keep well!

I am sure the effort is worth it! Nothing like a good and rustic peanut sauce. I am going to make this for myself this week. Keep well.

Green food should preferably be steamed or sewn very little so that you can feel its crunchy texture and that spicy peanut sauce is the perfect dressing...
An exquisite breakfast.

This looks delicious but to be honest I don't think many people here would be satisfied with this. Maybe it could be preferred as a diet food haha.

What you say is very true, a highly processed food does not ensure that it is nutritious, many times a simple food provides much more nutrients
I love the ingredients you used, I appreciate everything about creating this recipe.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon
