Tips:

  • Press the tofu before using it. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the tofu. Tofu is a delicate protein and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad bowl. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different dressings that can be used on a tofu salad bowl, so find one that you like and enjoy.
