Spicy Tofu Salad

This is a really good dish. I first had it in  Seattle at a small ramen shop called Samurai Ramen right outside Uwajimaya. My version of it is slighltly different, but the general concept is the same.

Ingredients

Sauce

• 3 table spoons Kochujang sauce (Korean Spicy Miso type of paste). 
• 1 table spoon Seasame seed oil
• 1 table spoon Shoyu (Soy Sauce)
• 1 tables spoon Sugar

Garnish

• Sauted King oyster mushrooms in a little olive oil (They are called Ali'i mushrooms in  Hawaii, Ali'i stands for "King"). 
•  Green Onions 
• Cherry Tomatoes or sweet mini tomatoes

Main Ingredient

•  One block tofu cut in half or into cubes. ( I use locally made tofu in Hawaii, so firmness will depend on preference. I like medium firmness, make sure to drain water). 

Directions

Get tofu and drain water, cube or cut in half. Set aside.
Cute cherry tomatoes into qaurters, and slice green onions.
Mix Sauce together, its okay that its salty because tofu is watery and will balance it out.
Cut mushrooms into pieces and cook with olive oil until meaty texture develops add salt and pepper.

Put together

1. Tofu first
2. Tomatoes
3. Sauce
4. Green Onions
5. Mushrooms Around Plate

Cut or serve and eat :) Look at picture to get better idea of what finished dish should look like.
