How to Make Asian Cole Slaw With Tofu
- **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.
- **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].
- **Combine the Slaw:** In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, chopped peanuts, mint, and basil.
- **Add Tofu and Dressing:** Add the crispy tofu to the slaw. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
