Tauhu Tod with Spicy Sauce

Tauhu Tod is a Thai dish.  It is fried firm beancurd served with a tangy sweet peanut dipping sauce.  Simple dish yet appetising.   I wouldn't mind just eating this for a light meal or snack.

Ingredients
3 pieces firm bencurd [taukwa]
enough oil for frying beancurd

Peanut Dipping Sauce [Mix together]
2 tsp freshly ground chilli paste
1 tsp fish sauce [use salt to taste for vegetarian version]
4 tbsp each of sugar and vinegar [I used calamansi juice]
1 stalk fresh coriander - chopped
4 tbsp ground peanuts
  1. Heat oil to fry beancurd pieces one at a time [if you do not want to use too much oil] until edges are crispy and golden.  Remove and set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce ingredients.
  3. Cut the fried beancurd into quarters or 6 pieces.
  4. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
