- 100 grams Peanuts
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Palm sugar
- 3 tablespoons Sweet soy sauce

Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.
Cut the tofu into small cubes and heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, then remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
In a dry pan, roast the peanuts over medium heat for about 5 minutes until lightly browned. Allow them to cool, then grind them into a coarse powder using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Set aside.
To make the peanut sauce, combine the ground peanuts, garlic cloves, palm sugar, sweet soy sauce, salt, lime juice from one lime, and 0.5 cup of water in a blender. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared rice noodles, bean sprouts, fried tofu, and sliced cucumber.
Pour the peanut sauce over the noodle mixture and gently toss to combine.
Serve the ketoprak immediately, garnished with additional peanuts or lime wedges if desired.
