Ingredients
- SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons white onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), optional
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
- SALAD INGREDIENTS:
- 300g (10.5oz) soft tofu
- 1 avocado
Directions
- Step 1 MAKE THE SAUCE: Add all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. If the sauce is too thick you can add more water (start with 1 tablespoon at a time). Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Step 2 PREP THE TOFU: Cut the tofu block into 2 equal parts. Then with each block cut into desired thickness.
- Step 3 PREP THE AVOCADO: To halve the avocado, cut around the lengthwise circumference and then twist the two sides open. To remove the pit, tap a knife into the pit and wiggle it out of it’s core. To remove the skin, slice off the ends of each avocado (so the ends now have a straight-edge) and with your hands peel off the skin. To slice the avocado, starting from a straight-edge slice the avocado to your desired thickness.
- Step 4 ASSEMBLE THE SALAD: On a serving platter or individual plates place tofu and avocado slices in alternating order. Drizzle with prepared sauce (from step #1). Serve.
- Step 5 TIP: With any leftover sauce (which you will most likely have), you can use it for whenever you need a seasoned soy sauce (for example, dumplings or over white rice). The sauce is good for up to a week when stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
