Make the Sauce
8 min
Mix the tamarind paste with the sugar, hot pepper, and lemon juice until smooth.
3
Chop the Fruit and Vegetables
10 min
Dice the pineapple and cucumber.
4
Toss and Serve
5 min
Toss the crisped tofu with the pineapple and cucumber, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle the peanuts on top before serving.
Reminder
Mix the sauce just before serving; if prepared too early, the vegetables may release their juices.
