  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, plus more if needed

Instructions

Makes 4 servings

  1. Put the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/3 cup of the olive oil into a blender. Blend until completely emulsified. Taste the dressing and adjust to your taste, adding more vinegar or sugar as needed. Pour half of the dressing into a jar and refrigerate for the salad.

  2. Put the tofu cubes into a bowl and pour over the remaining dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.

  3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu on all sides until nicely browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Toss in the sesame seeds and cook for another minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. To assemble the salad, put the sliced cucumber and tofu in a bowl. Pour on half the remaining dressing, reserving the rest for later use. Toss to coat. Then sprinkle on the sesame seeds and toss again. Serve immediately.
