Cuttlefish Peanut salad

If you patronize the chicken rice stall, they sell this toufu (bean curd) salad at $2.50 - $3.00. You might feel the pinch and will be quite reluctant to pay for it. Why is it so expensive when there is only one piece of deep fried toufu, few slices of gratedgcucumber and carrot, together with the sauce? However, you still will pay for it because you like to eat. Here, I share with you my recipe that I find simply delicious and appetizing. Furthermore it is very much economical as compared to if you buy it from outside.

My improvised version is by adding cuttle fish, green semi ripe mango , cucumber, carrot and sliced big onion. This salad is simply delicious and will not fail you. I made this salad on Wednesday for my colleagues, they simply loved it very much and 赞不绝口. You only need 10 to 15 minutes to prepare.
