Peanut Thai Salad with Grilled Tofu
A super addictive peanut butter dressing. Vegetarian, vegan, healthy, paleo, clean eating.
Servings: 1 as a main 2-4 as a side
Ingredients
For the salad:
- ¼ block (about 90g) extra-firm tofu cut into 1.5" cubes
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (gluten-free if preferred)
- ⅛ red cabbage thinly sliced
- ½ carrot, peeled and sliced
- 3 inch piece cucumber sliced
- 2 radishes, sliced
- ¼ red pepper, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
For the peanut dressing:
- ½ clove garlic, minced
- ½ inch piece fresh ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 wedge lime
Instructions
- Put the tofu into a small bowl with 2 teaspoons soy sauce and let the tofu marinate for 15 minutes or longer. Once marinated, grill the tofu. I do this in a grill pan, but you could do it on a BBQ, or if you don't have access to either, heat a bit of oil in a frying pan and fry for a couple minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
- Layer all the veggies into the bowl, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, radishes, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, and peanuts. Top with the grilled tofu.
- Make the peanut dressing by mixing all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Dress the salad to taste.
