Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili sauce, peanut butter, garlic, and ginger. Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu crosswise into 12 slices. Place slices in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Drizzle tofu with 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture, turning to coat tofu. Let marinate 30 minutes, turning tofu occasionally. Set aside the remaining soy sauce mixture for dressing.

2. In a very large nonstick skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high
heat. Remove tofu from the marinade. Add remaining marinade to the
skillet. Add tofu slices to the hot skillet. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once halfway through cooking.

3. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, jicama, sweet pepper, and carrot.
Divide among six salad plates. Top with tofu, peanuts, and cilantro.
Serve with reserved dressing mixture.
