Crunchy peanut & tofu salad.

















Tofu is high source of protein, Iron and calcium, it contains less amount of calories and fats. It looks very similar to paneer. There are many varieties of tofu like soft, medium, firm, dry, fermented, flavored and many more. Mostly for salads soft tofu is used but I prefer firm tofu because it is easy to work with.
Peanut and tofu is a very famous combination used in Asian cuisine. This salad is little sweet, little Tangy and crunchiness of peanuts adds great texture.

Ingredients:
1 small pack firm tofu
½ cup coarsely crushed peanuts
1½ tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp sesame oil
½ tsp chili powder
Salt to taste

Method:

In bowl mix oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice and chili powder.

Now add crushed peanuts and mix again, then add tofu and salt and gently mix together.

Serve with fried rice or stir fried noodles.

Enjoy!
