Directions
- Mix kecap manis, chilli bean sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and sesame seeds. It should taste like a spicy, sweet vinaigrette.
- Place tofu on a pad of paper towels, put another pad on top and a few side plates on top of the towels and let it press for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Dice the tofu 3cm and toss in the soy sauce mix (but don't break up the tofu). Add celery, water chestnuts, spring onions and peanuts. Serve on lettuce leaves and sprinkle with coriander leaves. Hot steamed jasmine rice on the side.
