Seared Tofu and Edamame Salad with Crunchy Vegetables
A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring perfectly seared extra firm tofu paired with bright edamame and crisp crunchy vegetables. This mix of textures is elevated by a tangy-sesame dressing and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, making it an ideal, clean lunch that both satisfies and nourishes.
INGREDIENTS
175 grams Extra Firm Tofu
100 grams Shelled Edamame
50 grams Red Bell Pepper
50 grams Cucumber
50 grams Carrot
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
0.5 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
0.5 teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture and then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sear the tofu cubes until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
Prepare the crunchy vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, thinly slice the cucumber, and julienne the carrot. Place them in a large salad bowl along with the shelled edamame.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and maple syrup to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the seared tofu and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful lunch.
