Instructions

Step 1

Make the sambal kecang. In a wok or pot, heat a small layer of oil, enough to cover the peanuts. Fry the peanuts in hot oil for a few minutes until golden - just remember that even after they are removed they will still darken, so be careful not to go too far because they will blacken. Scoop them out of the oil and allow them to cool on paper towel. When cool, blend them in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. You will need a fair bit of water, which you can add a bit at a time. Taste and season as appropriate.

Step 2

Fry the tempeh in the oil for 10 minutes or so, until crisp around the edges. Remove from the oil and toss through the kecap manis.

Step 3

Boil the baby potatoes in salted boiling water until just cooked, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Blanch the broccolini and green beans for 2-3 minutes in salted boiling water and remove.

Step 5

Arrange all the ingredients in a bowl, and allow guests to scoop as much sambal kecang as they would like on their Gado Gado.
