Ingredients

  • 1 block Tempeh
  • 1 cup Green Beans
  • 2 cups Spinach
  • 1 cup Bean Sprouts
  • 1/2 Cucumber
  • 2 Hard-boiled Eggs
  • 2 medium Potatoes
  • 1 cup Peanut Sauce
  • 4 Lime Wedges
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 block of tempeh into 2.54 cm cubes. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a 25.4 cm skillet over medium-high heat (about 190.6°C/190°C). Add the tempeh cubes and fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown. Remove the tempeh from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  2. 2Place the 2 medium potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat (204.4°C/200°C) and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, then cut them into 2.54 cm cubes.
  3. 3Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat (204.4°C/200°C). Add the 1 cup of green beans and blanch for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove the green beans with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well. Repeat this process with the 2 cups of spinach, blanching for only 30 seconds, then immediately plunge into ice water and drain well.
  4. 4Arrange the blanched 1 cup of green beans, blanched 2 cups of spinach, 1 cup of bean sprouts, 1/2 cucumber (sliced), cubed potatoes, and the cooked tempeh cubes on a large serving platter.
  5. 5Add the 2 hard-boiled eggs (halved or quartered) to the serving platter with the other ingredients.
  6. 6Drizzle the 1 cup of peanut sauce generously over the arranged salad ingredients.
  7. 7Serve immediately with the 4 lime wedges on the side.
