Get the vegetables ready.

Chop them up, and arrange on separate plates...

Boil all the vegetables separately,

until they are al dente - ie not overcooked.

This ensures that they are all cooked to perfection,
and the taste of the different vegetables is not mixed up.

Lets start with the carrots...

and then the beans.

Note how we recycle the cooking water between the dishes...

Put all the vegetables on the plates...

Add slices of boiled egg and then the peanut sauce.

Enjoy your gado gado!
