Hot Spicy Tofu Thai Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 pack Cauldron Salad Toppers
• 50g cooked fine rice noodles
• 1 carrot sliced into thin julienne strips
• ¼ small white cabbage very finely sliced
• ¼ small Chinese cabbage
• ½ cucumber sliced into thin julienne strips
• 2 spring onions finely sliced
• ¼ small red chilli very finely diced
• 200g bean sprouts
• 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

For The Dressing

•  juice of 1 lime
• 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 tablespoons groundnut oil

Method

1. Mix together all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Make up the dressing separately and leave to one side until you are ready to serve the salad, at which point the salad and dressing can be combined and then the Cauldron Salad Toppers can be tossed onto the top of this refreshing tasty, crisp salad.
2. The Salad Toppers do come in a light dressing so reduce the amount of oil in the Asian salad dressing alternatively use the marinated tofu pieces rather than their sauce.

To Serve

Lime wedges and coriander sprigs to garnish.
