Gado Gado Wrap
Indonesian gado gado, rebuilt as a wrap you can eat with one hand. Peanut butter is the whole sauce. Spread it on the wrap and it holds the filling in place while delivering the flavor that makes gado gado work.
Blanched bean sprouts, crisp radishes, cool cucumber strips, and a boiled egg quartered on top. 350 calories and 19g of protein, ready in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- egg 1
- bean sprouts 2 ounces
- cucumber 0.25
- radishes 5
- tortilla wrap, whole wheat 1
- peanut butter 1 tablespoon
Method
-
Boil the egg for 6-8 minutes. Rinse with cold water and cut the egg into quarters.
-
Pour boiling water over the bean sprouts in a colander, rinse with cold water and let them drain.
-
Slice the cucumber into strips and the radishes into thin slices.
-
Spread peanut butter on the wrap, then arrange the bean sprouts, cucumber, radishes and egg over it. Season with pepper and salt. Fold the wrap closed.
-
Serve the gado gado wrap on a plate.
Pull the egg at 6 minutes for a runny center that melts into the peanut butter when you bite. At 8 minutes, the yolk stays firm and the wrap folds cleaner.
Behind this recipe
Is 19g of protein enough for one meal?
It depends on the role this meal plays in your day. As a light lunch or afternoon snack, 19g covers you. What matters more is hitting your total daily protein across all meals. If you want to bump it, add a second boiled egg or serve a side of cottage cheese.
What makes this different from a regular peanut butter wrap?
The gado gado combination. Blanched bean sprouts add crunch and volume without extra calories, raw radishes bring a peppery bite, and cucumber strips cool it down. That specific pairing with peanut butter is an Indonesian classic, not a random sandwich.
Is this a good meal for weight loss?
At 350 calories, this is one of the lightest complete meals in the FitChef library. Research consistently finds that total calorie intake drives fat loss more than specific food choices. A light lunch like this makes room for a bigger dinner without overthinking your day.
