Ingredients for Asian Chopped Salad

  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • Oriental Style Baked Tofu
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • Hot Green Wasabi Peas
  • Roasted Soybeans
  • Fresh Ginger

How to Make Asian Chopped Salad

  1. Dice 1 medium cucumber and gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu (crumbled), 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 cup shelled edamame, 1/2 cup frozen peas (thawed), and 1/4 cup soy nuts.
  3. Add the squeezed cucumber to the bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over the salad.
  4. Drizzle with your favorite oriental-style salad dressing (2-3 tablespoons) and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately with breadsticks and iced green tea.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
