Vegan Thai Protein Salad
Serves 2
Prep time 10 mins
Cook time 10 mins
Ingredients:
For the salad
14 oz. (400g) organic extra firm tofu
3 cups (90g) kale, chopped
1 cup (100g) purple cabbage, shredded
1 red bell pepper, chopped
⅔ cup (30g) carrot, grated
1 tbsp. coconut oil
For the dressing
3 tbsp. peanut butter
2 tbsp. coconut milk
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. soy sauce
½ lime, juiced
½ tsp. chili flakes
1-2 tbsp. water
Instructions:
1.Wrap the tofu in a kitchen cloth and place something heavy on top of it -this will cause the moisture in the tofu to release.
In the meantime, prepare your vegetables. Toss the chopped kale, grated carrot and shredded cabbage in a salad bowl.
In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients.
Heat the coconut oil in a pan. Cut the tofu into strips and season with salt and pepper —fry on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes each side, or until golden brown.
Divide the salad between bowls, top with tofu, drizzle with the salad dressing and season with black pepper to serve.
