Instructions

1. Press the tofu
   Press tofu using a heavy object or tofu press for 20 to 30 minutes to get rid of the excess moisture. Don’t skip this step, this is the key to a delicious and crispy tofu!
2. Prepare the vegetables
   Finely chop the mixed salad, green onion and fresh mint, julienne the carrot (using a julienne peeler or a knife) and cut the cucumber into matchsticks.
3. Bake the tofu
   Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the tofu has been drained, cut the block into bite-sized cubes. In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes in oil, salt and cornstarch, until well coated. Arrange the tofu in an even layer and bake for 25 minutes, tossing halfway.
4. Prepare the dressing
   In a jar or mixing bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
5. Prepare the rice noodles
   Bring water to a boil, then stir in the rice noodles. Cook according to packet instructions.
6. Assemble the salad
   Divide ingredients between serving bowls, either neatly separated or mixed well, it’s up to you. Drizzle with dressing before serving.
