Toast the peanuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes until fragrant, then crush them coarsely.
Cut the pineapple, green mango, cucumber, and kohlrabi into bite-sized slices.
Rinse the mung bean sprouts and drain them until they no longer drip.
Pound the palm sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, shrimp paste, hot pepper, and salt in a mortar.
Gently toss the fruit, vegetables, and sprouts with the dressing in a large bowl.
Add the crushed peanuts and chill for 5 minutes in the refrigerator.
Transfer the rojak to a serving plate before it releases too much liquid.
💡 Tip: If shrimp paste tastes too sharp, halve the amount; for a halal or vegetarian table, a little soy sauce and pomegranate molasses can approximate the same depth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on a chilled platter as a summer salad with rice crackers and unsweetened iced tea if desired.
