Method

Hide images
step 1
Place the peanut butter (50 g), ketjap manis (3 tbsp), nasi goreng paste (1 tbsp) and coconut cream (1 tin) into a small saucepan and gently warm through. Squeeze in the juice of the lime (1) then set aside.
step 2
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes (450 g) and cook for 10 minutes, then add the green beans (100 g) and cook for a further 5 minutes, until everything is tender. Drain and run the beans under cold water to cool.
step 3
Meanwhile, pat the tofu (1 pack) dry with kitchen paper and cut into cubes. Add the remaining ketjap manis (1 tbsp) to a shallow bowl with 2 tbsp oil and coat the tofu in the marinade. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds (1 tbsp).
step 4
Heat a splash of oil in a non-stick frying pan and pan-fry the tofu for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crisp. Alternatively, place in an air fryer for 15 minutes at 200°C, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
step 5
Arrange the Chinese leaf (1/2), carrots (1) and cucumbers (4) in a large bowl and squeeze over the lime juice (1). Season with salt. Top with the potatoes, green beans and tofu. Drizzle the peanut dressing over the vegetables and tofu. Finish by scattering over some fresh coriander. Crush half of the no prawn crackers (2 handfuls) and sprinkle on top. Serve with the remaining no prawn crackers on the side.
