Gado gado -- a delicious, satisfying dish that is vegetarian and high protein. (My family is from Indonesia.)

This looks amazing. Just a quibble though - this isn’t a vegetarian recipe. No meat but there is seafood and eggs. I have family members who are vegetarians. They would not be ok with this. But it looks delicious to me!

ding dong you're wrong

As a vegetarian I do not consume meat, fish or chicken so I’m not sure what your point is.

NP here, but this is fairly easy to adapt to be vegan. You don't need the prawn crackers or you can substitute puffed rice crackers.

Although you can't make the peanut sauce as given there are a number of peanut sauce recipes that are similar that can be made both vegetarian and vegan. So, substitute a different peanut sauce and the recipe is vegetarian.

The recipe includes shrimp paste and fish sauce, which are not vegetarian. Definitely could be adapted, I’m sure, but as is, it is not vegetarian. The label doesn’t matter, except that people should not make this for someone who is vegetarian without confirming they eat these things. Many would not.

Eggs still fall under being a vegetarian. It is vegans that don't, since they are animal products (like milk). If you eat fish, you are a pescatarian.

Shrimp paste and fish sauce aren’t vegetarian.

Yes — I have a shellfish allergy and if someone told me this is a vegetarian dish I might think I was safe to eat it. Because shrimp are animals...

I just googled it! Looks great. Does Thai cuisine use dairy in their sauces, do you know? One of my favorite dishes I recently discovered is from Noodles and Co. Pad Thai!

It's usually coconut milk!

It’s ALWAYS coconut milk-or coconut cream. Thais don’t traditionally eat dairy. Also, interesting fact, Khao soi is specifically a Northern Thai dish, which is why it’s not commonly found at U.S. Thai restaurants. That’s because most Thais in the U.S. come from Bangkok/central Thailand. Another thing I want to add to this thread is Northern Thai sausage (sai ua) with sticky rice. Yummmmm.

-Thai person from Northern Thailand.

Interesting that many dishes are Thai that people adore! I need to travel there! Can you recommend a restaurant to try Khao Soi? Or a good Thai restaurant in MoCO or MD preferably? I have a dairy allergy so it would be great not to have to worry about it like I do with Indian food. Thanks!

For Montgomery County I suggest Sabai Sabai.

Thanks so much for this recommendation! I will try them out. They say on their page they offer many gluten free option as well!

Ok, can we stop talking about this now? Very boring.

Strongly agree. Please do not serve food with even small amounts of fish/animal products to vegetarians without being upfront about the ingredients. Many would not eat dishes with fish sauce or shrimp paste, even if the amounts feel inconsequential to others.

Oh, I love Satsivi, a relative of mine lived in Georgia for some time and learned Georgian cuisine. She used to make satsivi, and also the tkemali sauce (sour plum sauce). Both very heavenly.

There’s a Georgian restaurant in DC. Supra. But I’ve struggled to find bottled tkemali.
