Steps:
- Rinse tofu and pat dry, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a triple thickness of paper towels, then cover with another triple thickness of paper towels. Put a small baking sheet on top of tofu and weight with 3 (1-lb) cans (this removes excess moisture), 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together oils, vinegar, soy sauce, and pepper in a large bowl. Trim celery, then peel with a vegetable peeler and slice very thin diagonally. Cut tofu crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide sticks and transfer to a bowl. Toss gently with dressing, celery, sesame seeds, and salt to taste.
Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Press the tofu before marinating. This will help remove excess water and allow the tofu to better absorb the marinade.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will give the tofu time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender-crisp.
- Use a flavorful dressing. This will help bring all the flavors of the salad together.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
Conclusion:
Sichuan celery and tofu salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
