Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 Nori sheets
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Cucumber
- 4 small Radish
- 100 grams Mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and lettuce)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, slice it into thin, sashimi-like pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the nori sheets for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, cut into thin strips, and set aside.
Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber. Thinly slice the radishes.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly to create sashimi-like slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and lemon juice. Grate the fresh ginger and add it to the dressing.
In a serving bowl, arrange the mixed greens as a base. Lay the tofu slices, avocado slices, julienned carrot and cucumber, and radish slices on top artistically.
Drizzle the soy ginger dressing over the salad.
Sprinkle the toasted nori strips and sesame seeds over the top.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and light vegetarian dish.
