If you can’t find firm silken tofu, don’t worry – you can easily substitute regular silken tofu for a similar result. Simply cut the tofu into thinner slabs and arrange them on your serving plate, drizzle with dressing, and top with cucumbers and crunchy toppings.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
- 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Hot sauce, chili paste, or chili crisp to taste
- Water, if needed
Instructions:
Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. If using regular soy sauce, the dressing may taste salty at first, but it will mellow out when combined with the cucumbers. Reserve a small amount of dressing in a separate bowl and thin it out with soy sauce or water.
Prepare the vegetables and tofu: Cut the cucumbers into long, wedge-shaped pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Finely chop the scallion and peanuts, then set aside. Cut the tofu into rectangles and pat dry with a paper towel.
Assemble and serve: Arrange the tofu on a serving plate and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Top with the dressed cucumbers and finish with the scallion-peanut mixture. Add chili crisp or hot sauce and sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
Enjoy this dish immediately to prevent the cucumbers from becoming too watery. This flavorful and satisfying salad is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
