As requested, here is the recipe:<br /><br />For the salad<br /><br />firm tofu (the freshest you can find)<br />10 or so shrimp, sliced down the back<br />1 julienned yellow pepper<br />1 julienned red pepper<br />6 or so sprigs of cilantro<br />scallions sliced on the diagonal (light green &amp; dark green only)<br />juice of 1 lime<br />optional: jalepenos, avocado, jicama <br /><br /><br />Dressing: (these are all approximate)<br /><br />2 big spoonfuls of white miso paste<br />1 clove of garlic minced on microplane<br />3 tblsp of rice wine vinegar <br />canola oil<br />honey<br />water<br />sesame oil (garnish)<br /><br />Cube the tofu and put back in the fridge. Poach the shrimp in gently simmering water w/ the juice of 1 lime. Poach just until the white backs of the shrimp are opaque. Put in a bowl and squeeze any remaining lime juice over it and stick it in the fridge. Mix all remaining salad ingredients and put in the fridge.<br /><br />For the dressing: Blend the first 3 ingredients together. Add as much oil as needed to emulsify (maybe a little less than half a cup). Add water by the tablespoonfuls to thin out to desired consistency. Add honey by the squirt to the desired sweetness/sour balance.<br /><br />Assemble: Stack the tofu. Mix the vegetables and shrimp and place beside tofu. Drizzle salad dressing and add a few drops of sesame oil.Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07648632198624308424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998916030585772628.post-32570895309540782452009-08-27T14:29:57.069-04:002009-08-27T14:29:57.069-04:00Great blog Alicia, would love to have the full recipe!Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15277551082176420299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998916030585772628.post-54724920168898948702009-08-26T15:15:10.855-04:002009-08-26T15:15:10.855-04:00Great photos!
