Asian-style Mango Salad
Prep & Cook time: 30 mins
Serves: 4 large serves
Salad
- 2 cups finely sliced wombok
- 2 cups finely sliced red cabbage
- 1 red capsicum, seeded and finely sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 mango cheeks, diced
Tofu
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or regular vinegar
- Sesame oil, as needed
- 500g extra firm tofu, sliced or diced
Salad dressing
- ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or rice malt syrup
- 5 cm ginger, finely grated
- 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- Juice of 1 lime
METHOD:
- Toss all the raw vegetables and mangoes in a large salad bowl and set aside.
- To prepare the sauce for the tofu, add all the condiments to a small bowl and set aside.
- Place a large fry pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, drizzle with sesame oil and add the tofu. When the tofu is slightly seared (around 5 mins), add all the sauce and cook for another 2 mins. Flip each piece of tofu and allow to caramelise. Add a little water if the sauce is evaporating too quickly and if the tofu hasn’t cooked through. Set aside.
- To make the salad dressing, add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk until combined. If you’d like a thinner dressing, add a few dashes of water and mix until smooth.
- Top the salad with the tofu and drizzle over the salad dressing. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
