Vegetarian Tonkin Jasmine Salad

Method

1. 1 Blanch the jasmine flowers for exactly 20 seconds, then soak them in ice water; blanching them for longer will cause the petals to fall apart and lose their unique fragrance.
2. 2 Fry the tofu sticks for 4 minutes until golden brown, then drain off the excess oil.
3. 3 Grate the carrots into shreds, toss with a little salt for 5 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.
4. 4 Make the dressing by mixing soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chopped chili peppers.
5. 5 Gently mix for exactly two turns, then sprinkle in the roasted peanuts and herbs, and stir vigorously until everything is fluffy and crushed.
