  • 2-3 hard boiled fingerling potatoes

  • lettuce, shredded

  • tomato, halved

  • carrots, julienned

  • 1/2 english cucumber, sliced

  • bean sprouts, blanched

  • 1 package extra-firm tofu, drained, rinsed and dried

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • 2 tbsp canola oil

Peanut sauce

  • 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter

  • 6 tbsp hot water

  • 6 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 4 tsp brown sugar

  • 4 tsp red curry paste

  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt



Directions:

  1. Prep all your veggies (chopped, halved, etc...).

  3. Add your fingerling potatoes to a pot of boiling water and cook for about 12 minutes. Add the green beans and continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Strain and rinse under cold water to chill. Half the fingerlings lengthwise. Boil your eggs for 5-6 minutes. Take them out, run under cold water, then peel them. Blanch the bean sprouts. Set everything aside.
