Creating the Culinary Magic:

1. Start by cooking those rice noodles as per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. As the noodles work their magic, heat up a skillet or pan. Toss in those tofu cubes, allowing them to sear until they’re golden on all sides.
3. While Mr. Tofu gets a tan, let’s craft that satay sauce. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and water. Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed.
4. Once the tofu’s seared, pour that satay magic over it, letting the cubes soak up the flavors.
5. Time to assemble! Place a bed of salad greens on each plate, followed by the satay-soaked tofu and those dreamy noodles.
6. Garnish with a sprinkle of spring onions and a generous handful of coriander.

Sprinkle of Tips:

1. Pressing the tofu ensures it’s firm and absorbs the satay even better.
2. Spice lovers? Add a dash of chili flakes to the satay sauce.
3. The salad’s versatility shines when you toss in some bell peppers or cucumber strips for an extra crunch.

Plate & Relish:

Serve this beauty chilled or at room temperature. If you’re looking to elevate the experience, a side of lime wedges and some extra peanut sauce won’t hurt.
