Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar (preferably palm sugar)
1 -3 chili pepper, Thai bird, seeds and ribs removed
1/2 cup shallot, thinly sliced, preferably large red variety
salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lb tofu, extra-firm, cut into 3/8-inch thick slabs
salt
black pepper
1 cup English cucumber, medium diced seedless
4 green onions, white and light green parts, cut into small bite sized lengths
1/2 cup cilantro leaf (& some for garnish)
2 tablespoons mint, minced fresh

Steps:

For the dressing:.
Stir together the liquids with the sugar. Lightly crush & add the chilis & shallots to the liquid. Will taste hugely overwhelming - no worries. It is balanced by the tofu.
For the salad:.
Heat the oil over a medium-high flame in a large skillet. Author suggests cast iron - I use French stainless. Dry the tofu. Brown the tofu in the skillet - about 5 minutes a side. Flip and brown on the other side. Remove to drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the tofu (when cool enough to handle) thinly, about 1/8" or so.
Toss the tofu and all remaining ingredients with the dressing. Alternatively drizzle with dressing or serve the dressing on the side in little bowls to dip a bite at a time (my fav).
Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

Use extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when you toss it with the dressing.
Press the tofu before using it. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
Cut the tofu into small cubes. This will help it to absorb the dressing more evenly.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
Make sure the vegetables are thinly sliced. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really makes this salad sing, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors.
Serve the salad immediately. This is when it's at its best.
