Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 50 grams Roasted peanuts
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 small Shallot
• 2 sprigs Coriander root (or cilantro stems)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Palm sugar
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 12 slices Fresh pineapple (or orange segments)
• 1 small Fresh red chili
• 12 leaves Cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and then finely crumble or chop it into small pieces.

Step 2

Roughly chop the roasted peanuts and set them aside.

Step 3

Chop the garlic, shallot, and coriander root or cilantro stems into small pieces.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallot, and coriander root and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped peanuts, soy sauce, and palm sugar. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined, fragrant, and slightly sticky.

Step 7

Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 8

Prepare the fruit bases by cutting fresh pineapple into bite-sized slices or preparing orange segments with any seeds or membranes removed.

Step 9

Spoon a small mound of the cooled tofu mixture onto each fruit slice.

Step 10

Garnish with a small sliver of fresh red chili and a cilantro leaf on top of each piece.

Step 11

Arrange the pieces on a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
