Ingredients
Spice Mix
- ¼ tsp coriander ground
- ¼ tsp cumin ground
- ½ tsp cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp ginger ground
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp chili flakes crushed
- ¼ tsp cardomom ground
- pinch cumin ground
- pinch sea salt
Salad and Dressing
- 7 oz tofu cut into ½ inch thick slice
- mixed salad leaves
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- lime juice
- ½ red chili small, chopped
- fresh coriander chopped
- peanuts crushed
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Dry the tofu thoroughly with kitchen paper and cut into rectangles no more than 1/2 inch thick. Coat in the spice mix and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes. The longer you can let it sit the better.
- Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and set aside to infuse until you are ready to eat the salad. The more chilli you add and the longer you let it infuse, the spicier it will be.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of Olive oil in a frying pan and add the tofu, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Arrange the salad leaves in a bowl, add the tofu, top with more chopped chilli, fresh coriander, chopped spring onions and crushed peanuts. Add some dressing and keep more to the side as a dipping sauce for the tofu.
- Serve Immediately!
