Directions

20 min.
1. Step

Start with preparing the dressing. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic, chili, and ginger. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

2. Step

Toss the salad green, basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and carrots in a large bowl. Remember to wash and dry all the salad components before using. This helps to remove any residual dirt and ensures the dressing will adhere to the greens well.

3. Step

In a large pan, fry the tofu on medium heat until golden crisp, which gives a delightful crunchiness to the salad.

4. Step

Then, add the fried tofu and peanuts into the salad mixture. Mixing in the warm, pan-fried tofu right before serving ensures that it remains nice and crisp.

5. Step

Pour the dressing over the salad (you may not need all the dressing, so add gradually). Toss until everything is well combined. Adjust the taste, adding more dressing if needed.

6. Step

Serve it right away to enjoy the salad at its freshest and most vibrant.
