Rinse the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it stand with the lid on for an additional 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, cut the tempeh into small cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tempeh cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, minced garlic, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Pour the mixture over the browned tempeh and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the tempeh from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and trimmed green beans. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
To assemble the Nasi Campur, start by placing a portion of the cooked rice in the center of each plate. Arrange the tempeh, sautéed vegetables, and fresh cucumber slices around the rice.
Sprinkle with roasted peanuts for additional crunch and garnish with lime wedges, which can be squeezed over the dish for added zest.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan Nasi Campur!
