How to Make Thai Tofu Salad Yam Taohu

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce (or vegetarian alternative), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Adjust the amount of brown sugar or lime juice to your preferred level of sweetness and tartness.
  3. Add the crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste), minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the peanut sauce.
  4. Add the pressed and crumbled tofu to the peanut sauce and gently toss to coat.
  5. Add the shredded carrots, chopped bell pepper, and chopped scallions to the bowl and gently toss again to combine.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds (optional) before serving.
  7. Enjoy your refreshing and flavourful Thai Tofu Salad!
