Spicy Tofu

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Firm tofu
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Red onion - sliced
1		Green onion - chopped
1/4 cup	10g / 0.4oz	Mint leaves - chopped
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Assorted vegetables - chopped
2 tablespoons	30ml	Soy sauce
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lime juice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground toasted rice*
1 tablespoon	15ml	Ground roasted chilies+

Recipe Instructions

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 color is uniform, remove from heat, cool & grind 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.
