- To a small bowl add all ingredients and whisk till well combined.
- Check out our pan-fried tofu recipe linked in the ingredients list. It takes 15 minutes to make. While it cooks, you can prep the veggies.
- To a large salad bowl, add chopped lettuce, corn, chopped cucumber (I like to keep the peel on), thinly sliced green onions, and cherry or plum tomatoes cut in half (if using larger tomatoes, cut them in half first, then slice them into wedges).We don't add the avocado just yet, or it'll get mushy and turn brown.
- Add the pan-fried tofu on top, then add about half of the dressing. We are making this with tahini dressing, but you can really use your favorite dressing for this tofu salad.
- Mix the salad until everything is well coated in the dressing. Then add thinly sliced or diced avocado. Give it another mix, taste, adjust for salt, and serve immediately.Serve the remaining dressing on the side for people to add as they like.

SILKEN TOFU WITH SPICY SOY DRESSING
This recipe is inspired by the many cold silken tofu dishes from East Asia, like Japanese hiyayakko and Chinese liangban tofu. This no-cook dish is a handy one to have up your sleeve, especially for warm evenings when the desire to cook is nonexistent. Silky soft tofu is draped in a punchy soy dressing, creating a lively dish with little effort. The tofu is ideally served cold, but 10 minutes at room temperature can take the edge off. Make it your own with other fresh herbs such as Thai basil, mint or shiso leaves, or add crunch with fried shallots or roasted peanuts. A salty, fermented element like kimchi, pickled radish or ja choi, also known as zha cai, a Sichuan pickled mustard root, would work well, too. One block of silken tofu is usually enough to feed two people, but for a more substantial meal, serve it with hot rice or noodles to create a pleasing contrast of temperatures.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chile oil, sugar, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Carefully drain the liquid from the package of tofu, and gently tip the block onto a kitchen towel. (Try to keep the block in one piece, if possible, but don't worry if it falls apart; it will still taste great.) Pat with another clean kitchen towel, removing as much liquid as possible. Transfer the blocks to one large plate or two smaller plates, and spoon the soy dressing over the top until the tofu is completely covered. Top with scallions and cilantro leaves, and eat on its own or with rice or noodles on the side.
