Spicy tofu

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Firm tofu
¼ cup Red onion, sliced
1 each Green onion, chopped
¼ cup Mint leaves, chopped
2 pounds Assorted vegetables, chopped
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Lime juice
½ teaspoon Ground toasted rice*
1 tablespoon Ground roasted chilies+

Directions

Cut the tofu into cubes. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Heat a wok & add the tofu without oil. Stir-fry until heated through, but not crisp. Put in a mixing bowl.

Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables & lettuce. Mix thoroughly. Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce leaves & pour the saute over them. Serve surrounded by rice & assorted vegetables.

*Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to prevent burning. When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool & gring to a powder. It is best to use a mortar & pestle.

+Roast whole chilies, stems too, in a dry wok until they darken. Be careful that they do not burn. Cool. Remove stems & seeds. Grind.
