Gado Gado Platter

Whisk coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, tamari (or soy sauce), sugar and ginger in a medium bowl. Thin with water, if needed, to achieve a pourable consistency. Set aside.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Set a large bowl of ice water by the stove. Cook beans in the boiling water until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to the ice water.

Pour off all but 1 inch of water from the saucepan and add a steamer basket. Add cabbage, cover and steam over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to the ice bath to cool. Drain the vegetables; pat dry.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a small bowl, leaving the oil behind. Increase heat to medium-high. Add tempeh and cook until the edges are browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Arrange eggs, tomatoes, carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber and krupuk (or rice crackers) on a large platter. Add the beans, cabbage, tempeh and shallots. Serve with the reserved dressing.
