The best thing about tofu - besides its nutritional

value - is the way it carries other flavors, such as

the tanginess of this sesame dressing. Serve this warm

salad with crunchy breadsticks and a tall glass of

iced jasmine tea.

 

ChupaNote: tossed in a julienned red bell pepper and a

thinly sliced red onion as well as a handful of sugar

snap beans. Doubled all of the ingredients of the

dressing and we used most of it over rice!!!!
