This is a version of a traditional Indonesian dish called gado-gado, a salad of tempeh and vegetables in a peanut dressing. The flavours of the peanut butter and coconut milk, combined with ginger, give the tempeh a rich, tropical flavour. The mesclun and bean sprouts give the dish colour and crunch.
