Directions
Thai sweet Chili Sauce
Place the tofu, chiles, spring onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, lime leaves, egg, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar and flour in a food processor and blend until it is just smooth. Do not allow it to become runny. Place the mixture in a bowl and stir in the basil leaves.
Fry cakes in hot oil around 2.5 centimeters deep by placing large tablespoons of the batter in it spreading it out slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook them for 1 to 2 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden.
Serve the Tofu cakes with Thai sweet chili sauce.
