Tofu and Veggie Salad with Peanut Sauce

"I was craving for something sweet, sour, salty, spicy and cruchy and I had some left over deep fried tofu from my Tofu Burrito." ~ Charisma


Ingredients:

Cold Salad:
Left over fried tofu strips
Cucumber
Lettuce leaves

Steamed Veggies:
Brocolli
Asparagus

Peanut Sauce:
4 teaspoons Canola oil
1/2 cup onion chopped really finely
2 tablespoons garlic chopped really finely
1/2 teaspoon hot chili pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup of water

Instructions:

• Mix onion, garlic and oil


• Put small sauce pan in medium heat and pour the mixture.


• Add peanut butter and mix well.


• Add water and simmer for 10 minutes.


• While waiting for the mixture to simmer, in a small bowl, mix vinegar and sugar until sugar has dissolved and pour into the pan.


• Mix the sauce until the texture is sauce is thick enough.


• Steam veggies separately.


• Arrange cold veggies on one side of serving plate and steamed veggies and tofu on the other and put the peanut sauce dish in the center.

***There's no proper way to eat this dish. I just prefer to wrap cold veggies in lettuce, tofu and peanut sauce. Dip steamed veggies in peanut separately.***
