Salad Ingredients- 1 pack silken tofu
- 1/2 pack baby greens
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 stalk scallion
- 1/3 red chili pepper
Dressing Ingredients- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious dressing for the salad. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tsp of minced garlic, 1 chopped scallion stalk, 1/3 red chili pepper (seeds removed and finely chopped), 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of crushed toasted sesame seeds. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Let the dressing sit for a moment to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2
Next, here’s a handy tip for removing the silken tofu from its packaging without breaking it. Carefully peel off the plastic lid of the silken tofu pack. Invert the pack onto a cutting board. Gently tap the sides or corners of the pack with your hand or the back of a knife. Alternatively, you can make small nicks with a knife at two opposite corners on the top side of the pack to let air in, then tap to release the tofu. This method helps the tofu slide out in one neat piece. Handle it gently.
Step 3
Finally, it’s time to assemble the salad. Arrange the thoroughly washed and well-drained baby greens on a serving plate. Carefully place the silken tofu on top of the greens. Drizzle the prepared dressing generously over the tofu and vegetables. Your refreshing silken tofu and vegetable salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
