Gather @bean sprout{100%g}, @firm tofu{150%g}, @fried dough stick{2}, @tamarind paste{1%tbsp}, @bird's eye chili{3} and @roasted peanut{60%g}.

Pound the @shrimp paste{1.5%tbsp}, chilies and @palm sugar{2%tbsp} together in a mortar to a rough paste.

Loosen with the tamarind and a squeeze of @lime{1} juice into a thick, dark dressing; taste and adjust until it hits sweet, sour and pungent all at once.

Cut the @cucumber{1}, @pineapple{200%g}, @jicama{200%g}, tofu and fried dough sticks into bite-sized chunks.

Toss everything with the bean sprouts and dressing in a large bowl, turning until every piece is coated dark.

Scatter the crushed peanuts over and serve right away, before the dough sticks go soft.
