Marinated tofu, quinoa, peanut, chilli and mango salad
This fresh and vibrant marinated tofu and quinoa salad recipe is packed with flavour. Served with radish, mango and a rich peanut dressing, this is a healthy, simple vegan midweek meal.
Start by marinating the tofu. Cut the tofu into 3cm square pieces and place into a deep baking tray. Finely chop the shallot and garlic and add this to the tofu, along with the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Reserve the to one side for 30 minutes
Meanwhile, prepare the salad dressing by placing the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and the peanut oil into a blender along with the red chilli and 80g of cold water. Blend well until smooth
To cook the quinoa, bring the stock to the boil in a large pan and add the quinoa. Cook for 15 minutes until tender, remove the pan from the heat and drain off any excess liquid. Allow the quinoa to steam and season lightly
Drain the tofu from the marinade and place in the steamer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam over a pan of simmering water for 5 minutes
