Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Add the crumbled tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, scallions, and mint leaves.

  4. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, and water until well combined.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried tofu, chopped vegetables, toasted rice powder, and vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Laab Tofu at room temperature or chilled, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
