Crispy Baked Popiah {Spring Rolls}

These are Crispy Baked Popiah or Spring Rolls. The traditional recipe uses the wrapper that is made from wheat flour, and the rolls are deep-fried.

Gado Gado

Gado Gado is a mixed vegetable salad served with a spicy peanut sauce dressing. It’s a traditional dish in Indonesia; but, also very popular in Malaysia.

So do try my version of this peanut dressing. They are sweet, salty, sour, and spicy! Note: This is an updated post with a new video cooking guide.
