This sweet and salty dish is a hallmark flavor of Thai cuisine, and is an explosion of flavor and texture. Although written for tofu, this recipe may also be made with chicken; just be sure to cook thoroughly. It is also a fun, non-traditional addition to a Rosh Hashanah Seder plate (peanuts are legumes, too!).
