Tofu Fried Noodle Salad Method
Remove any old leaves from wombok, cut stem off base, slice finely and add to a salad bowl
Remove outside layer of shallot, trim roots, then chop into small pieces
Toast almond flakes in a pan on the stove until they turn a light golden brown
Cut tofu in half, then into small cubes
Add oil to fry pan, add tofu, season with chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a medium heat and cook until edges are a light golden brown and crispy. (Use a pair of tongs to rotate pieces until all sides have crisped up).
Combine wombok, shallots, almonds and crunchy fried noodles in a large salad bowl
Add tofu to salad bowl
Dress and toss to combine
Tofu Fried Noodle Salad Dressing Method
In a small jar, combine vinegar, soy sauce, oil, garlic and ginger. Add lid and shake to combine
Remove lid, add honey and stir to combine
- This recipe can have a few options for the sweetener in the dressing. Agave syrup if you are vegan or honey if you are vegetarian
- If meal prepping the salad, keep the tofu separate so you can heat it and add to the salad. It tastes better hot.
- The crunchy fried noodles will go soggy if covered in dressing or left to sit for a while. Add them last to ensure they stay 'crunchy'.
