Instructions
- 1
Dice the potatoes and boil them, and hard-cook the eggs in the same pot for 9 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 2
Boil the green beans and cabbage for 4 minutes, then transfer them to cold water.
4 min04:00 - 3
Cut the tofu into cubes and turn it in vegetable oil for 6 minutes until the edges brown.
6 min06:00 - 4
Toast the peanuts in a pan for 4 minutes until fragrant.
4 min04:00 - 5
Crush the peanuts, garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, hot pepper, salt, and a few spoonfuls of hot water into a coarse sauce.
- 6
Divide the potatoes, green beans, cabbage, cucumber, bean sprouts, tofu, and eggs among plates.
- 7
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the vegetables; if the sauce thickens, loosen it with 1 tablespoon hot water.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find palm sugar, use brown sugar rather than grape molasses; molasses changes the Indonesian character of the peanut sauce too much.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Keep the sauce in a small separate bowl and serve as a light dinner salad with optional jasmine rice.
