Salad Base
Marinated Crispy Tofu
Method
Preparing the Tofu
Pressing the Tofu
Begin by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating the Tofu
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and place them in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Coating and Frying
After marinating, coat each tofu cube in cornstarch. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Salad
Combining Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine heritage greens, chopped cucumber, diced bell pepper, pineapple chunks, and sliced green onion.
Adding Tofu
Once the tofu is crispy, add it to the salad mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Serving
Final Touch
Serve the Java Island Tofu Salad immediately. You can drizzle additional sesame oil or soy sauce over the top for extra flavor if desired.
