Rojak is in Malay, it means 'mixed up'. By mixing up everything in one plate that's we called Rojak. The following recipe is based on the Malay preparation. The sauce quite spicy but it's depend on the individual taste, you just put less chilli or avoid it. It's a unique taste, but give it a try, try it to believe it.
