Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Red bell pepper - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Fresh mint leaves - 20 grams, chopped
• Fresh cilantro - 20 grams, chopped

• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Chili flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture and cut it into 1cm cubes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and fry the tofu cubes until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, mint, and cilantro.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well combined.
5. Add the fried tofu to the vegetable mixture and pour the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without breaking the tofu.
