Crunchy tofu salad with japanese sesame dressing


Its that New Year season where resolutions (or "dares" as I call em nowadays) are high -  including more ways to incorporate healthier foods, working out more to balance the foodie-ness. So i've been thinking of ways to make salads less boring!

Usually its a chop and toss deal but the extra 5 min effort of panfrying the tofu into lovely "crispy on the outside, tender inside" cubes made a huge difference.

Ingredients:
Cucumber
Green apple
Firm tofu - cubed and lightly panfried till the edges are browned

Dressing:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon or slightly more mirin
Roasted sesame - roughly crushed
Couple of dashes of sesame oil

(there are various better recipes online for japanese sesame dressing, I used what I had on hand)
