Crispy Sesame Tofu with Crunchy Carrot and Fresh Lettuce Salad
Enjoy a vibrant bowl of crispy tofu glazed with a tangy-sweet sesame dressing, tossed with crunchy carrots and refreshing lettuce. This dish features a satisfying textural contrast from the seasoned tofu and garden-fresh vegetables, with an aromatic dressing that ties all the flavors together perfectly.
INGREDIENTS
300g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 medium Carrot
1 cup Romaine Lettuce
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tsp Maple Syrup
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a light spray of cooking oil if desired. Cook the tofu cubes until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and maple syrup to form the dressing.
Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the pan and while still warm, toss it gently with the dressing and sesame seeds.
In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce and shredded carrot. Add the cooked chickpeas.
Top the salad with the dressed crispy tofu and sprinkle with any remaining sesame seeds for extra crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
