Thai Tofu Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   In a blender or food processor, combine chili peppers, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, rice vinegar, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth.

   Tip: Adjust the level of spiciness to your liking.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade and salt. Add the tofu and marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

   Tip: Turn the tofu halfway through the marinating time for even coating.

3. 3

   Add the chopped cabbage, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl with the marinated tofu.

   Tip: Massage the vegetables gently with your hands to release their natural juices.

4. 4

   Toss the salad to combine and adjust the seasoning as needed.

   Tip: Add more fish sauce or lime juice if the salad needs a boost of flavor.

5. 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   Tip: Let the salad sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if desired.
