Shan Tofu Salad
Silky Chickpea Tofu with Tamarind
Why This Recipe Works
This salad redefines what tofu can be, using silky, homemade chickpea tofu instead of soy. It is a refreshing afternoon snack that perfectly balances savory oils with tart tamarind.
Instructions
Coat a portion of the sliced onions in lime juice and set them aside to macerate.
Fry the remaining onions in oil until golden brown and crisp, then let the oil cool to room temperature.
Gently combine the sliced tofu with the garlic, chiles, flour, and tamarind dressing.
Pour the fried onions and their oil into the tofu mixture, add the lime-soaked onions and cilantro, and mix gently with a spoon to avoid breaking the delicate tofu.
