Step 1
Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add tofu cubes and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Boil vegetables in salted water until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain well.
Step 4
Whisk peanut butter, tamarind paste, 3 tbsp warm water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and minced garlic until smooth and pourable.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with blanched vegetables, fried tofu, halved hard-boiled egg, and a handful of krupuk.
Step 6
Drizzle peanut sauce generously over the bowl. Serve immediately.
