Ingredients

Tofu

  • ½ block tofu
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Salad

  • 2 cups mixed lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1 roma tomato

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 5 tablespoon champagne vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, drain your tofu and place it on a paper towel to draw out the moisture (takes about 10 min).
  • While your tofu is de-moisturizing, make the marinade by combining the orange juice, soy sauce, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix!
  • After the ten minutes are up, place your tofu in the marinade and use a spoon to pour some of the liquid on top of the tofu (do this every 5 min for about 20 min).
  • During these twenty minutes you’ll have time to make your salad and dressing.For this salad, you can use any kind of salad mix or leaf you want to, in fact, I really like to mix it up. 5. Next, slice up your strawberries, cucumbers and tomatoes and toss them, along with the blackberries, into the salad.
  • heat up your vegetable oil in the pan over medium heat.
  • Take your tofu and slice it into about 2 inch rectangles.
  • When the oil is heated take your tofu out of the marinade (make sure not to throw out the marinade though) and place it in the pan. STAND BACK! The oil caught me the last time I did this.
  • Let your tofu sizzle on one side for about 3 minutes and then flip it to the other side. Let it sit on the other side the same way until you get a nice glaze on both sides of the tofu. 5. Once you get a nice brown pour the rest of your marinade into the pan until the tofu absorbs it all.
  • 10. To complete your salad, pour the dressing over your salad and top it off with the sesame orange tofu Enjoy!

Dressing

  • mix the ingredients listed under dressing.
