Direction:
- Place peanut butter and coconut milk into a saucepan and heat over low heat until smooth and well combined. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat for 1 minute. Set aside to keep warm
- Place eggs in a large saucepan and just cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; once the water reaches a rolling boil cook for another 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggs. Plunge immediately into a bowl of ice-cold water or run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel and refrigerate
- Place potatoes into same saucepan and add more water to cover. Cook for 15 min or until tender. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add beans. Drain and refresh with cold water. Set aside
- Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Pat dry tofu and cook 1 minute each side or until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel
- Arrange potatoes, green beans, tofu, sprouts, cucumber, red cabbage and radish onto a large platter. Drizzle over some of the peanut sauce and serve the remaining in a bowl
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with lime wedges and prawn crackers
