How to Make Asian Cole Slaw With Tofu

  1. **Prep the Tofu:** Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cube the tofu and pan-fry or bake until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  2. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together [add specific dressing ingredients and measurements here, e.g., 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger].
  3. **Combine the Slaw:** In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, chopped peanuts, mint, and basil.
  4. **Add Tofu and Dressing:** Add the crispy tofu to the slaw. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. **Serve:** Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
