Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan and sauté the remaining ginger, garlic, chili pepper, and cumin for 2 minutes over low heat. Add the remaining soy sauce and the peanut butter and mix well. Add the coconut milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Thread the tempeh cubes onto the skewers. Heat a grill pan over high heat and grill the skewers for about 8 minutes, or until browned all over. Tip: Serve with rice, prawn crackers, and atjar tjampoer.
