Directions: <\/p>\n
Make the instant peanut sauce: Put a kettle on (or boil a large pot of water). Put the peanut butter, kecap manis, garlic, ginger (if using), sambal, and tamarind or lime juice in a heatproof bowl. Add \u00bc cup hot boiling water and stir with a fork until combined. It can look split at first, but keep stirring until homogenized. Peanut sauce thickens as it sits, so loosen the sauce with water to a thick pourable consistency for serving, if needed.
\nRead the dried vermicelli noodle packet instructions to see if they need to be cooked on the stovetop or submerged in boiling water. If they cook when submerged, put them in a large heatproof bowl along with the edamame beans, beansprouts (if using) and tofu cubes. Pour boiling hot water over everything until submerged, then leave to sit for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and the tofu and edamame are warmed through, then drain.
\nIf the noodles don\u2019t cook when submerged and have a required cook time, follow the package instructions to cook and drain the noodles. Put the kettle on again to soak the edamame beans, beansprouts (if using) and tofu cubes in a heatproof bowl, as above.
\nDivide the peanut sauce between two serving bowls. Put the noodles on top, along with the edamame beans, bean sprouts (if using), avocado, tofu and cucumber. Drizzle generously with kecap manis, then garnish with the chips, fried onions, lime wedges and chile slices. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
