BEAN CURD AND COOKED VEGETABLE SALAD

Serves :
6

Preparation Time :
15 minutes

Cooking Time :
20 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • Make the sauce. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over low heat.
  • Put in the chillies and garlic. Fry for 2 minutes.
  • Put them into a blender and grind finely.
  • Add the peanut butter, coconut milk and tamari or shoyu sauce.
  • Blend well. Put the mixture in a saucepan. Add the Laos powder and curry leaves, and bring to a boil. Cook gently until the sauce thickens slightly. It should be of a pouring consistency. If too thick, add a little water. Take the pan from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Cut the bean curd into ½ -inch (1.5 cm) dice.
  • Boil the potatoes in their skins until just tender. Peel and dice them as soon as they are cool enough to handle. 
  • Top and tail the beans. Break into 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths. Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain, run cold water through them, and drain again.
  • Finely shred the cabbage. Blanch in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain it, run cold water through it, and drain again.
  • Cut the carrots into thin, diagonal slices. Blanch in boiling water 3 minutes. Drain, run cold water through them, and drain again.
  • Cut the cucumber into 1-inch by ½ -inch (2.5 cm by 1.5 cm) pieces, ft 8
  • Heat a pan of deep oil to 350F/180C. Put in the bean curd, diced and cook until golden. Drain paper towels, and put them in the centre of a very large serving plate.
  • Arrange the other vegetables in rings around them. French beans, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, cucumber.
  • Traditionally, the sauce is poured over the vegetables before serving. However, as it has a distinctive, hot flavour, it would be best to serve it separately.
