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.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The tempeh was a bit too dry and the peanut sauce was a bit too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The tempeh was mushy and the peanut sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This was the worst tempeh dish I've ever had. The tempeh was tough and chewy, and the peanut sauce was watery and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tempeh turned out really dry. The peanut sauce was also a bit grainy. I think I might have overcooked the tempeh or used the wrong kind of peanut butter. Overall, it was a disappointing recipe.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. The peanut sauce was also a bit too thin. Overall, it was an okay recipe, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to make. The tempeh was crispy and the peanut sauce was flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a different type of chili pepper than the recipe called for. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of tempeh, but this recipe changed my mind. The peanut sauce was so good that I could have eaten it by itself. I'll definitely be making this again.
