Keto Gado-Gado (Indonesian Salad)

Ingredients

• 1 block Tofu (firm, pressed)
• 1 cup Green beans
• 1 cup Cabbage (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Sprouts (bean or radish)
• 1 Cucumber
• 2 Hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 cup Almond butter
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (tamari)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Erythritol
• 1 tsp Chili paste (sambal oelek)
• 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

1. 1Place 1 block Tofu (firm, pressed) on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the 1-inch cubes of tofu to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
2. 2While the tofu is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut 1 cucumber into 1/2-inch thick rounds. If your 1 cup of green beans are not already trimmed, trim the ends. Ensure your 1 cup of cabbage is shredded and your 0.5 cup of sprouts are ready.
3. 3In a large pot or steamer basket, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C). Add the 1 cup of green beans to the steamer basket. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Add the 1 cup of shredded cabbage to the steamer basket with the green beans, cover, and steam for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
4. 4In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cup almond butter, 0.25 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp soy sauce (tamari), 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp erythritol, 1 tsp chili paste (sambal oelek), and 2 tbsp water. Whisk vigorously until the sauce is smooth and well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, add another 1 tbsp of water and whisk again until it reaches a pourable consistency.
5. 5Arrange the steamed 1 cup of green beans and 1 cup of cabbage on a serving platter. Add the 0.5 cup of sprouts, the sliced 1 cucumber, the golden brown tofu cubes, and the 2 hard-boiled eggs (which should be sliced or quartered) onto the platter with the vegetables.
6. 6Generously drizzle the prepared almond butter sauce over the assembled salad. Serve immediately.
