• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Cut the firm tofu into small cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Wash the bean sprouts and drain them well.

Toast the peanuts in a dry pan over low heat until fragrant. Allow them to cool, then crush them coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine water, tamarind paste, brown sugar, vegan soy sauce, chili paste, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, pineapple, jicama, bean sprouts, and tofu. Pour the prepared dressing over the mix, stirring gently to coat all ingredients.

Transfer the mixture to a serving platter and sprinkle with crushed peanuts before serving.
