Langkah

  1. Warm the palm sugar and water in a small pan until dissolved. Add the vinegar, kecap manis and salt, cool, and taste — thin, sweet, sour, a little salty.

    💡 Thin. This is a dressing the tofu sits in, not a sauce that coats it — closer to water than to syrup.

  2. Cut each tofu puff into 4 pieces. If using home-fried tofu, fry now and drain.

  3. In a mortar, per serving, pound 1 shallot, a piece of garlic and 1–2 chillies coarsely with a pinch of salt. Add a share of the tofu and press lightly with the pestle to bruise it.

  4. Pour over a ladle of the dressing and serve at once in the mortar or a small clay dish.

💡 Tips

  • Gejrot is the sound of the dressing being squirted from its bottle onto the tofu. The whole dish is built for speed.
  • The dressing keeps a week in the fridge. With it made, the dish is a two-minute snack.
