- 1 tablespoon Indonesian Ayam, ground
- 6 oz unsweetened coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Garnish
- ¼ cup roasted chopped peanuts
- Thai basil
- Lime wedge
Instructions
- Prep the tofu first and set it aside on a paper towel to further dry while you prep the other ingredients.
- Pour and vegetable oil in wok and tilt it around to spread the oil, then place the pan on medium high heat. Preheat the wok thoroughly and ensure that the oil is well distributed. The wok needs to be hot enough for the tofu not to stick but not so hot that it burns.

- Next add the shallot, ginger and Indonesian Ayam. Gently toss until fragrant for 1 minute. Pour in the coconut milk, sugar and soy sauce. Simmer for another minute until the sauce thickens. Transfer to a serving dish and finish with Thai basil, peanuts and a squeeze of lime juice.
