Ingredients for Thai Hippie

Method

Directions for Preparation

1

Prepare the Tofu

Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

2

Make the Tempura Batter

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and ice-cold water until smooth.

3

Fry the Tofu

Heat oil in a deep pan. Dip tofu cubes in the tempura batter and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Prepare the Salad

Slice the avocado, cucumber, and carrot into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the avocado, cucumber, carrot, cashews, Thai basil, cilantro, mint, and thinly sliced red onion.

5

Make the Thai Peanut Sauce

In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and water until smooth. Add salt to taste.

6

Assemble the Dish

Serve the crispy tofu on a plate with the salad and drizzle the Thai peanut sauce over the top.
