OH MY, MY, MARINADE!
In a shallow bowl, combine the Thai tofu marinade, 1⁄2 the lemon juice, and 1⁄2 the grated ginger. Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized cubes. Place in the bowl and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate, 10-15 minutes.
TOASTED PEANUTS
Place the chopped peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BUBBLE UP THE QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Cover and set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
TOFU-RIFIC!
When the tofu has finished marinating, return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tofu until golden and crispy, reserving the marinade in the bowl, 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel.
FLASH FRY
Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced cabbage until slightly wilted but still crunchy, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season and remove from the heat.
PEANUT SAUCE
Place the peanut butter in a small bowl and gradually whisk in the reserved marinade in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.
TOSS IT ALL TOGETHER
To the pot of cooked quinoa, toss through the charred cabbage, the carrot matchsticks, the spring onion whites, and the rinsed green leaves. Add the remaining lime juice (to taste), the remaining ginger, and seasoning. Gently toss for a full minute until evenly distributed.
GET READY FOR DINNER
Dish up a pile of tantalising Thai salad. Top with the fried tofu and drizzle over the peanut sauce. Finish with sprinkles of toasted peanuts and spring onion greens. Serve any remaining marinade on the side.
