Marinate the Tofu

Grill Chicken or Cook Tofu
If using chicken, season with salt and pepper and grill both sides over medium heat until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Slice into strips when cooled slightly.

If using marinated tofu, either pan-fry in a bit of oil over medium heat until golden on each side or bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Slaw

Thinly slice daikon and bell pepper into matchsticks and mix together in a bowl.

Toss with a light dressing of rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and a touch of sesame oil. Let it sit while preparing the rest of the salad.
Assemble the Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine Tuscan baby greens and chopped romaine lettuce.
