Zucchini Cucumber Salad with Ginger Sesame Tofu - fresh ginger

Method

• 1.
• Combine ginger, ponzu/soy sauce and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
• Alternately, you can use a pre-made Asian stir fry sauce like Trader Joes Soyaki sauce.
• 2.
• Heat a grill pan or large flat plan at medium-high heat.
• Add the cubes of tofu.
• Allow tofu to cook well on each side, turning once each side is a light brown color.
• This will take about 5-7 minutes.
• Add half of your ginger sesame sauce to the tofu and quickly toss then remove the pan from the heat.
• If you leave the tofu cooking in the sauce for too long it can burn, so be careful!
• 3.
• Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to slice both the cucumber and zucchini into long, thin strands.
• They should resemble the shape of linguine pasta.
• Put it into a bowl.
• 4.
• Use the remaining sauce to dress the cucumber and zucchini.
• Then plate the vegetable mixture, top with some tofu and sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds over the top.
