Shreded Tofu with Sweet Peanut Sauce


Ingredients: (serves 3-4)
600g Hard Tofu (Sliced to about 0.5cm shreds)
2 medium size Carrots (finely chopped)
50g Sweet Pickled Radish (finely chopped)
50g Raw Peanuts (toasted and skinned, crushed)
2 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce (diluted with 2 tbsp water)
4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1/2 tbsp Black Pepper Powder
1/2 tbsp Cinnamon Powder
1/2 tbsp Salt
2 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
1 cm Ginger (finely chopped)

Method:
1. In a bowl, mix the shredded tofu with Cinnamon powder and salt. Par boil with 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a pre-heated work. Take out when the tofu shreds start to harden and turn yellowish brown. Place on a piece of kitchen towel and leave to cool.
2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok, stir in ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add sweet radish, fry for about 2 minutes, add in shredded carrots, fry for another 1 minute.
3. Add the rest of seasoning and stir-fry for another 2 minute. Add corn-starch solution if the sauce is too watery.
4. Mix in tofu shreds earlier, followed by crushed peanuts. Done. Serve hot or cold.
