Step 1

For the papaya pineapple salad, first heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the white cabbage in it for 3 minutes, then deglaze with water and let cook until the liquid has evaporated.

Season with salt and pepper, arrange in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the pan again with 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté the sprouts for 1 minute.

Then season with salt and pepper and arrange next to the white cabbage.

Step 3

For the dressing, put all the ingredients – except the yeast flakes – in a blender and puree until smooth.

Then stir in the yeast flakes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Finally arrange the fruit and the tempeh separately in the bowl, pour the dressing over the papaya and pineapple salad and serve sprinkled with peanuts and coriander.

Tip: If you don’t like tempeh, you can also prepare it with fried smoked tofu.
