Ingredients
- 7 ounces firm tofu cut into cubes and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cucumber sliced
- 1/4 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 4 perilla leaves thinly sliced (optional)
- 1/2 avocado sliced
- Sesame dressing: 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds ground, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon allulose, 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu cubes for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until golden on all sides. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Grind the sesame seeds in a mortar or spice grinder, then whisk in the remaining dressing ingredients until creamy.
- Arrange the greens, cucumber, bell pepper, perilla and avocado in two bowls.
- Top with the warm tofu and drizzle with the sesame dressing.
Notes
Pressing the tofu between paper towels before frying helps it crisp. The dressing keeps in the fridge for up to a week. The nutrition counts mayonnaise as oil and does not include the optional avocado.
Chef's Tip: Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1 minute before grinding for the most fragrant dressing.
Keto Swap: Store-bought Korean sesame dressings are often sweetened with sugar or corn syrup. This homemade version uses allulose.
Success Tip: Add grilled chicken or a soft-boiled egg for a heartier meal.
Nutrition is calculated from the ingredients and is an estimate per serving. Net carbs exclude fiber and allulose.
