How to Prepare Japanese-style Tofu Salad with Carrot and Miso Dressing

1. Begin with the tofu. Drain it by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Set a weighty object atop and leave for about 10 minutes.
2. In the meantime, for the dressing: add the carrot, miso paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and water to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Add a bit more water if it appears too thick.
3. Slice your drained tofu into cubes of a desirable size.
4. In a sizable bowl, introduce the mixed greens to half the carrot miso dressing and give it a good toss.
5. Evenly distribute the salad greens onto two plates. Add the tofu cubes.
6. To finish, pour over the remaining dressing onto the tofu and serve pronto!

Tips

1. Up the protein by sprinkling some sesame seeds over your Japanese-style tofu salad.
2. Got leftover dressing? Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to a week.
3. Add some oomph with a dab of soy sauce or a pinch of chili flakes to the dressing.
