Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 400 g firm tofu
  • 1⁄2 l Oil for frying + 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 2 Shallots
  • 300 ml unsweetened coconut milk (can)
  • 1 can(s) (425 ml) cherry tomatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt, sugar
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp some fresh chili pepper
  • 2 TABLESPOONS roasted peanuts
  • some stem(s) Coriander

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the tofu into cubes of about 2 cm. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 180°C (the oil is at the right temperature if you hold a long wooden stick in it and bubbles rise from it).

  2. 2

    Bake the tofu cubes in it for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Or fry the tofu in a large pan in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown all round. Take out and put on kitchen

  3. 3

    The crust ensures that the tofu does not disintegrate later in the sauce.

  4. 4

    Peel and finely dice the shallots. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the shallots until translucent. Add coconut milk and canned cherry tomatoes and juice. Season with 1 1⁄2 tsp. salt and 1 tbsp. sugar, bring to the boil.

  5. 5

    Add the tofu and simmer for about 10 minutes. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add 2-3 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Season to taste again. Add some chilli pepper to taste. Sprinkle with peanuts and possibly garnish with coriander.

  6. 6

    Jasmine rice tastes good with it.
