Salad Ingredients- Cubed tofu, about 2 handfuls (approx. 200g)
- Cherry tomatoes or ripe tomatoes, 1.5 handfuls (approx. 200g)
Balsamic Dressing Ingredients- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide or honey
- 1/2 handful finely minced onion (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes (optional)
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide or honey
- 1/2 handful finely minced onion (approx. 2 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the tofu and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubed tofu in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove impurities, then drain well. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, halve the cherry tomatoes, or dice larger ripe tomatoes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, oligosaccharide (or honey), minced onion, and olive oil. Whisk together thoroughly to create a delicious balsamic dressing. If you want to reduce the pungency of the onion, you can soak it in cold water briefly before mincing.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan with a small amount of olive oil. Drain the tofu and add it to the pan. Roll the tofu cubes around to lightly fry them on all sides until golden brown and slightly crispy. This will enhance the texture, making the outside crisp and the inside soft.
Step 4
Add the pan-fried tofu to the prepared balsamic dressing and toss gently to coat evenly. Finally, add the diced tomatoes and mix lightly once more, being careful not to mash them. Your elegant Tomato Tofu Salad is now ready! Serve immediately and enjoy.
