• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons, grated Palm sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 small, finely chopped (optional) Red chili pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the rice noodles in hot water for 8-10 minutes until they are soft, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are soaking, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and thinly slice the cabbage.

Step 3

Blanch the bean sprouts by dipping them in boiling water for 1 minute, then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, palm sugar, salt, red chili pepper (if using), and water. Stir continuously until the sauce is smooth and warm.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry the cubed firm tofu until golden brown on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

To serve, arrange the rice noodles, fresh vegetables, and tofu in individual serving plates or bowls.

Step 7

Drizzle the warm peanut sauce over the top of each serving.

Step 8

Garnish with a generous sprinkle of fried shallots before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your soy-free ketoprak with a squeeze of fresh lime if desired.
