Ingredients

You’ll need

  • Mamam's Sate BBQ Sauce
  • Boiled water spinach (kangkung)
  • Boiled long beans
  • Boiled bean sprouts
  • Boiled cabbage
  • Fried or boiled tofu
  • Fried tempeh
  • Hard‑boiled eggs
  • Boiled potatoes
  • Fresh cucumber
  • Rice cake (lontong) or plain white rice

Add‑ons

  • Fried shallots

Steps

  1. Wash and cut the vegetables: water spinach, long beans, cabbage, bean sprouts, and cucumber.
  2. Blanch the water spinach, long beans, cabbage, and bean sprouts in boiling water for 1–2 minutes each. Drain well so they stay bright and slightly crunchy.
  3. Boil the potatoes and eggs until cooked. Peel and slice.
  4. Fry the tempeh until golden brown; set aside.
  5. Prepare the tofu — deep‑fry, pan‑fry, or leave plain (fried is more common).
  6. If using lontong (rice cake) or ketupat, cut into bite‑sized cubes. If using white rice, keep it warm.
  7. Assemble: on a large plate, arrange a portion of each boiled vegetable, cucumber slices, potato, tempeh, tofu, and egg. Add rice cake/ketupat or a scoop of white rice on the side.
  8. Warm Mamam's Sate BBQ Sauce gently in a small pan (add a splash of water if needed). Pour generously over the salad.
  9. Sprinkle with fried shallots and serve immediately.
