Pan-Seared Tempeh with Peanut Sauce image

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