Wonderful Asian flavors in this salad! I have doubled the sauce recipe so there's plenty to spoon over the veggies. From Martha Stewart Living, March 1996.

Steps:
- Place tofu between two layers of paper towel on a dish. Place a baking sheet over tofu, and set a heavy book on top of baking sheet to weight tofu so it releases excess water; let stand about 30 minutes.
- Combine ginger, garlic, jalapeno, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, remove from heat, and set aside.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt and beans; cook until beans are just tender and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain beans, and transfer immediately to a large bowl of ice water. When chilled, drain again, and pat dry.
- Distribute beans, carrots, scallions, red peppers, lettuce, and mint evenly among six plates.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu, and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Add ginger mixture, toss to coat tofu, and cook about 1 minute more.
- Spoon tofu and sauce over vegetables, sprinkle with peanuts, and serve.
