Asian Style Salad

Ingredients

  • 1/4 small white cabbage circa 340g
  • 1 bunch boc choi
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 1 cup edamame beans 190g
  • 1/2 avocado thinly sliced* (optional)
  • For the sesame tofu:
  • Tofu pressed and drained
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • For the raw teriyaki dressing**:
  • 4 tbsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • If you're using frozen edamame beans (like I did) place them in a bowl of boiling water and leave them to one side while you prepare the rest of the salad
  • Cut the pressed and drained tofu into small cubes
  • Put 2 tsp sesame oil in a non stick pan, add 1 tsp sesame seeds and tofu, stir occasionally and cook for circa 15 minutes, until the tofu is golden 
  • While the tofu is cooking wash and finely chop all the vegetables into matchstick strips
  • Add all the dressing ingredients together in a screw top jar and shake well
  • Divide all the veg and tofu onto 4 bowls, toss with the teriyaki dressing and serve
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*1/8 avocado per serving is the Fodmap allowance for phase one
Tip: when slicing the boc choi make sure to cut from the stem up, this way you won't rip the leaves. 
**Depending how much dressing you use you’ll likely have left overs, I usually use circa 1 tbsp dressing per portion salad.
