• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.

While the tofu cooks, julienne the cucumber and carrots. Thinly slice the red cabbage and scallions. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Set vegetables aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, grated garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water until smooth. Adjust water to reach desired dressing consistency.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, carrots, red cabbage, bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro. Toss to mix evenly.

Step 6

Top the salad with the crispy tofu.

Step 7

Drizzle the spicy peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Garnish with roasted peanuts for added crunch.

Step 9
