Gado gado (in Indsonesian or Betawi Language), also known as lotek (in Sundanese and Javanesse) is an betawi dish or Indonesian salad consisting of biled vegetables served with a peanet sauce dressing. It is defferent from lotek atah or karedok for its fresh and raw version of the vegetable covered with peanut sauce. Another similar but not the same dish is javanese pecel. It is thought to have originally been a sundanese dish. It is widely served from hawkers carts, stalls (warung) as well as in restaurant and hotels both in indonesia and worldwide.

Gado - gado is part of a wide renge of Indonesian dressing and salad combinations, along with lotek, pecel and karedok. Inmany places, to is made in individual batches per order, in front of the customers to suit customers personal preference on the degree of spiciness (the amount of chili pepper). However, sice the dish has gained popularity (because of the increase of asian themed restaurants). Gado - gado sauce is now mostly made ahead of time and cooked in bulk, although this is probably more common in western restaurants rather than in Indonesia. Compared to western and indonesian salads, gado - gado has much more sauce in it. Instead of being used as a light dressing, the vegetables should be well coated in the sauce. Gado - gado sauce is not to be confused with satay sauce.
