Indonesia: Gado Gado

Cooking Time: 30 minutes
When I first started this journey, I figured my Indonesian dish would be a homage to Bali where we spent our honeymoon. I’ve long intended to recreate the dishes we made in our cooking class using the cook book they sent us home with as a souvenir. I’ve also always...

Peru: Lomo Saltado
