Recipe instructions
- NOTE: Nam pla or nuoc nam (fish sauce) is available in Asian markets. I would strongly suggest to begin by using only 1 TEASPOON of the fish sauce in this recipe and then adjust seasoning accordingly. For vegetarian version, omit the fish sauce.
- DRESSING: Puree the first 5 ingredients in a blender. Allow the mixture to stand at least 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Stir in chili sauce.
- Strain the dressing into a small bowl, pressing down the solids with a spatula to release the liquids. Discard solids.
- TOFU: Toss together the first 7 ingredients. Next add the tofu and salad dressing, tossing to coat well.
- For each serving, arrange 1 or 2 lettuce leaves on a plate. Divide the tofu mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
