CRAG COOKING
Gado gado (Satay salad)
Peanuts are a nutritional powerhouse. In their various guises, they can take on anything: a slice of toast, a good trail mix, or even a noodle salad. But the king of all peanut recipes might just be peanut, aka satay, sauce. The problem with satay sauce, however, is that it’s a pain to make. And if you’re camping or living the #vanlife, forget about it. Luckily there’s a solution: stock up on dehydrated satay sauce blocks. Available from the Indonesian aisle of your local Asian grocery store, they’re about the size of a sardine tin, packed with flavour, and only take a few moments to rehydrate into a delectable sauce. Satay tragic James Stuart gives you the low down on the perfect meal for that last day of the trip when all that’s left are some limp carrots and a few eggs, floating in scungy esky water.
