Spicy Tofu
Categories: Main dish | Thai | Tofu | VegetarianServes: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb Firm tofu
- 1/4 c Red onion, sliced
- 1 Green onion, chopped
- 1/4 c Mint leaves, chopped
- 2 lb Assorted vegetables, chopped
- 2 tb Soy sauce
- 2 tb Lime juice
- 1/2 ts Ground toasted rice*
- 1 tb Ground roasted chilies+
Instructions:
Cut the tofu into cubes. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Heat a
wok & add the tofu without oil. Stir-fry until heated through, but
not crisp. Put in a mixing bowl.
Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables &
lettuce. Mix thoroughly. Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce
leaves & pour the saute over them. Serve surrounded by rice &
assorted vegetables.
*Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to
prevent burning. When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool
& gring to a powder. It is best to use a mortar & pestle.
+Roast whole chilies, stems too, in a dry wok until they darken. Be
careful that they do not burn. Cool. Remove stems & seeds. Grind.
