Recipe: Surinamese Petjel #Priyaswereld

peanut sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Sunflower seed butter is less expensive and provides a similar creamy texture.

tofu

🥗Healthier: edamame

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a cheaper protein alternative.

tempeh

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: seitan

Seitan is a cost-effective protein that can mimic tempeh's texture.

Prepare mixed vegetables by washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.

Boil water in a large pot and add the mixed vegetables, cooking until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the vegetables and drain them, then set aside to cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, combine peanut sauce with lime juice, salt, and sugar to taste.

Slice tofu and tempeh into thin pieces and pan-fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Arrange the boiled vegetables on a serving plate, adding fried tofu and tempeh on top.

Drizzle the peanut sauce mixture generously over the vegetables and proteins.

Garnish with sliced cucumber, bean sprouts, and fried shallots.

Serve with steamed rice on the side for a complete meal.
