Background
Tofu carries flavours really well so it’s ideal for spiced dished. This spicy tofu salad is ready in just 10 minutes – super healthy, gluten-free and vegan, and I highly recommend to women going through the menopause!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ red chilli
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 100g firm tofu
- ½ grilled red pepper
- ¼ cucumber
- 2 handful of mixed salad leaves
- ½ red onion or 1 shallot
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
- Thinly slice the grilled pepper, onion, garlic and chilli. Dice the cucumber. Cut the tofu into 2cm cubes.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and gently fry the garlic and chilli for 30 seconds. Add the tofu and stir-fry for 5 minutes until golden, then add the soy sauce and half of the lime juice. Cook, stirring constantly, to coat all sides well.
- Scatter the salad leaves onto two plates, then divide the pepper and onion slices between them. Arrange the tofu cubes on top and scatter some coriander leaves over them. Drizzle with sesame oil and lime juice just before serving.
