Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Chili Tofu Salad.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together the sweet chili sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed garlic, and freshly grated ginger until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 2
Next, gently add the diced tofu to the bowl, making sure to toss it carefully so that each piece is coated in that delicious marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour; this is the perfect time for the flavors to mingle and create a mouthwatering taste sensation.
Step 4
While the tofu is soaking up all that goodness, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 5
Toss in the snow peas and blanch them for just 1 to 2 minutes until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Once they’re ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer the snow peas to a bowl filled with ice water; this quick dip will stop the cooking process and keep them crisp.
Step 7
After they’ve cooled, drain the snow peas and pat them dry.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched snow peas with shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and crunchy peanuts.
Step 9
Finally, add the marinated tofu along with all that flavorful marinade, and toss everything together gently until well mixed.
Step 10
This colorful dish is not just a feast for the eyes but also a delightful blend of textures and flavors that will leave everyone wanting more! Enjoy your creation!.
