Step 1
Whisk peanut butter, sambal oelek, lime juice, soy sauce, and water in a bowl until smooth. Add garlic and adjust spice level to taste.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add potatoes and cook 5 minutes, then add green beans and cook 3 more minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 3
Add chopped cabbage to the boiling water and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted but still crisp. Drain everything and rinse briefly with cold water.
Step 4
Divide vegetables between two bowls. Pour peanut sauce generously over the top, toss to coat, and top with crispy fried onions or peanuts.
Step 5
Serve immediately while the vegetables are still warm and the sauce is creamy.
