  • 400 milliliters

    coconut cream


  • 3/4 cup

    filtered water


  • 2 teaspoons

    ground turmeric


  • 1 teaspoon

    salt


  • 1 teaspoon

    vegetable stock powder (see note)


  • 1

    brown onion, finely sliced


  • 100 grams

    baked tofu cubes


  • 2

    carrots, julienned


  • 2

    cos lettuce


  • Mint, to serve

  • For the dressing

  • 1

    lemon, juiced


  • 1

    lime, juiced


  • 1 tablespoon

    gluten-free soy sauce


  • 1 teaspoon

    coconut sugar

Directions
  1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Adjust flavours to taste.
  2. Add flour through to stock powder into a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Heat some oil in a cast iron pan and when hot, add some of the onion and tofu, and stir fry until onion starts to brown.
  4. Keep the pan on a high heat and pour a large ladle of the pancake mixture into the pan. Let it cook for around 3 minutes then add some of the carrot on one half.
  5. Check the edges can come away from the pan cleanly and gently lift the side without carrots away from the pan and onto the carrots. Let cook a minute longer before transferring to a plate.
  6. Enjoy with dressing, fried shallots, mint and lettuce.
  7. NOTE: I make my own vegetable stock powder from 2 tbsp mushroom powder mixed with 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cracked pepper and 1/2 tsp celery seeds.
