Ingredients

1 tbsp
vegetable oil
12 oz
extra-firm tofu, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1
lime, zest and juice
2 tbsp
fish sauce
2 tbsp
tamarind paste
1 tbsp
agave syrup
1 tsp
sambal oelek (optional)
1 tsp
grated fresh ginger
3 cups
baby spinach
1 cup
shredded red cabbage
1/2
English cucumber, diced
1 cup
diced pineapple
1
mango, diced
1 tbsp
chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup
chopped peanuts
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until the tofu is golden on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the tofu from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, juice, fish sauce, tamarind paste, coconut sugar, sambal, and ginger. Set it aside.

Arrange the spinach, red cabbage, cucumber, pineapple and mango in a serving dish. Top with the mint and peanuts.

Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving or store, undressed, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
