2.10. Pecel Salad (Combined Cooked Vegetables with Peanut Sauce)

The six cooked vegetables (Figure 3) were mashed as described above and blended with 150 g of peanut sauce for analysis.

The cooked Pecel vegetables and peanut sauce are ready to be consumed by mixing/dressing the vegetables with the peanut sauce. In this study, the cooked vegetables and peanut sauce were homogenised using a kitchen blender for analyses.

We considered two treatments: (1) combined vegetables mixed with FO peanut sauce, hereinafter referred to as “Pecel FO,” or (2) combined vegetables mixed with RO peanut sauce, hereinafter referred to as “Pecel RO.” The mixture was homogenised using a kitchen blender for analyses. In practice, cooked Pecel vegetables and its peanut sauce are mixed just before consumption, similar to a western salad.
