INGREDIENTS
1 medium Cucumber (200g)
200g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (100g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (50g)
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds (9g)
1 tsp Sesame Oil (5g)
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (15g)
1 tsp Soy Sauce (5g)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 Garlic clove, minced
PREPARATION
Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into small cubes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small drizzle of sesame oil. Lightly sauté the tofu cubes until they are golden and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spiralize the cucumber to create noodles. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into matchsticks.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumber noodles, red bell pepper strips, sautéed tofu cubes, and shelled edamame.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until evenly coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and flavor. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, protein-packed salad.
