Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to the package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breast.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, slice, and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into thin slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to coat. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the garlic cloves thinly. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sauté the sliced garlic until fragrant.
Trim the green beans and cut the carrots into matchsticks. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté with the garlic until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the tofu into cubes and fry in a separate pan over medium-high heat until golden brown. Set aside.
For the sambal, finely chop the red chili peppers and shallots. Combine them in a small bowl with lime juice and mix until combined.
To serve, divide the cooked rice among four plates. Arrange the grilled chicken, sautéed tempeh, blanched vegetables, and fried tofu around the rice. Serve with a spoonful of sambal on the side.
