Ingredients

4 sprigs coriander
400g silken tofu
SAUCE
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
FRIED GARLIC OIL

TIP

Silken tofu can release water quite quickly. If you prepare this dish too much in advance, the sauce will become diluted with tofu water. I just love to put this salad on hot rice!
