Instructions
- Using a blender or a food processor, blend or process the peanut butter, chilies, garlic, coconut sugar, calamansi (or lime juice,) kecap manis, and water until it’s smooth and thick.
- Cut the tofu and shallow-fry them for about eight minutes until the outer skin is golden. Set aside.
- Slice the Lontong into bite-size pieces.
- To plate three servings, place ⅓ of the drained vermicelli in the center of each plate. Place ⅓ cup of bean spouts, ⅓ of the fried tofu pieces, 3-4 slices of lontong, and 2 tablespoons of chopped dry roasted peanuts onto each serving of vermicelli.
- Generously drizzle each serving with peanut sauce, and optionally garnish with fresh sliced Bird’s Eye chilies, cilantro, minced scallions, and cucumber.

Notes
- To make this dish look even more appetizing, you can use a large shallow bowl instead of individual plates. This allows the ingredients to be arranged in a circular pattern, with the vermicelli in the center and the other ingredients radiating outward. Additionally, you can use a squeeze bottle to drizzle the peanut sauce in a decorative pattern on top of the dish.
- When storing leftovers, it's best to keep the components separate in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This prevents the ingredients from getting soggy or losing their texture. To reheat, simply warm up the components separately in the microwave or on the stove and assemble the dish again when ready to serve.
