Edamame and Tofu Salad with Miso Dressing
- 1 1/2 cup edamame beans (blanched)
- 8 oz extra firm tofu
- 1/8 cup shallot (small diced ( 1 large shallot))
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped )
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp jalapeno oil
- salt (to taste)
Miso Dressing
- 3 tbsp miso (blonde or white)
- 1 cup vegenaise
Garnish
- 2 tbsp jalapeno oil
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
For the tofu
-
In a medium hot pan, add 2 tbsp of jalapeno oil and diced tofu. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes. This should allow the tofu to get a little crust on the outside and infuse some of the flavor of the oil into it. After about 4 minutes just turn off the heat and allow to cool in the pan.
For the salad
-
In a small mixing bowl combine veganaise and miso and mix well. In a separate bowl add blanched edamame, tofu, shallot, green onion, and a pinch of salt. Add 1-2 tbsp of miso "mayo" to the salad and mix well. Taste the seasoning and adjust if need be with either salt, miso, or spice.
To Finish
-
Simply spoon the salad into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, more jalapeno oil, and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
