Cooking Steps

Preparation :

1. In a bowl, combine half of the BE peanut sauce bottle (about 1/2 cup) with the drained tofu diced. Marinate in the fridge for 30 min at least.

2. Grill the marinated tofu on a pan with 1 Tbsp VG oil or bake it on parchment paper at 200C for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool down

3. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool down with a glug of neutral VG oil to prevent stickiness.

4. Assemble the salad by combining in a salad bowl : the noodles, the shredded cabbage, carrots, edamame, spring onions, remaining peanut sauce, soya sauce and juice of 1 lime. Mix until well combined and all coated in sauce.

5. Add on top the crispy tofu, the roasted peanuts and fresh coriander. Serve cold.

Chef S Tip

This recipe is vegetarian: but this salad can also be done with chicken or shrimp to be marinated with the peanut sauce instead of tofu. Also do not hesitate to be creative and stir in any crunchy local and seasonal veggetable of your choice (bell pepper, zucchini…), and even fruits like mango to bring a touch of sweetnest.
