Around the World in 4 Days

My kitchen has taken an adventure around the world the past few days. It started on Friday with a trip to Malaysia to discover what happens when one puts a bunch of seemingly random ingredients together in a salad. I steamed potatoes and carrots, boiled cabbage, bean sprouts and cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, stir-fried tofu, chopped up spring onions and mixed together with a peanut sauce. And voila - Gado-Gado, a Malaysian salad. Very yummy! The cabbage added a nice colour to the salad. Actually, because of all the ingredients, the salad was very diverse in colour and flavour.

Then tonight we headed to Senegal in Africa for a hearty vegetarian stew. This stew had potatoes, carrots, turnip, squash, cabbage, onions, leafy greens, tomato paste and peanut butter. Delicious! I am still full from this wonderful stew.
