Chinese Un-Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
1 package Mori-Nu Silken Extra Firm Tofu, frozen and defrosted
Marinade:
1/2 cup vegetarian chicken broth, boiling
1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. Granulated garlic
Salad:
2 cups loosely packed shredded cabbage
1/2 cup Mandarin orange sections, drained
1/2 each red and yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1/3 cup frozen green peas, cooked
1/2 cup water chestnuts, drained
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing:
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. lite sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. Ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. thinly sliced scallions
Tear defrosted tofu into unequal pieces and place in a non reactive bowl. Combine the marinade ingredients in a small liquid measuring cup and pour over defrosted tofu. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours. Drain tofu and return to microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook on full power for 3 minutes, drain thoroughly, pressing gently, and set aside. Place salad ingredients, except tofu, in a medium bowl and set aside. Using a wire whisk, mix together the dressing ingredients in a small liquid measuring cup, and set aside. Toss salad ingredients, top with tofu and cilantro, pour dressing over all and serve immediately.
Note:
When Silken Lite Tofu is sliced, frozen and defrosted, it mimics the texture of cooked poultry.
