Directions
- Salad Base
- Begin by bringing a pot of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and continue at a rolling boil until they are easily priced by a fork.
- Meanwhile, as the potatoes boil, heat a frying pan to medium and sauté the cabbage just until soft (you may need to add a splash of water). Set aside and continue to cook the tempeh in the same frying pan.
- Arrange the cabbage, bean sprouts, cucumber, tomatoes, and tempeh in a bowl. Once the potatoes are cooked, chop and add them as well.
- Finally, add the green beans to the potato water and blanch for a mere minute. Add them to the salad.
- Serve with the Coco-nut-butter Sauce, cilantro, and lime.
- Coco-Nut-Butter Sauce and Indonesain Tempeh
- To make the sauce, combine the first nine ingredients in a blender and blitz until they come together. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- For the tempeh, combine the 2 Tbsp. tamari, 1 Tbsp.honey, garlic, 1 tsp oil, vinegar, and spices in a dish. Add the cubes tempeh and let sit to marinade for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Set a frying pan to medium heat and once hot, add the other tsp. oil and tempeh. Toss for about 5 minutes or until crispy and brown.
- Gently heat the sauce over medium heat just before serving.
