It is a riff on my favourite Peanut Sesame Noodles so test it out in the event you’re on the lookout for extra of an enormous meal. That is only for you, or for you and a fortunate pal in the event you’re feeling beneficiant. In case you can’t discover agency silken tofu, you need to use silken tofu right here however don’t trouble slicing it into batons. Merely halve it crosswise (into two thinner slabs) and prepare them in your serving plate. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and heap the dressed cucumbers (and crunchy toppings) over it. Once you scoop up the salad, scoop up the tofu as effectively.

Make the dressing: Whisk the entire dressing components collectively in a big bowl. It’s going to style fairly salty and strong in the event you use common soy sauce (as I do) however don’t fret, it’s going to style a lot milder when tossed with the cucumbers. Take away 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dressing (simply eyeball it) and place it in a smaller bowl. Whisk just a little soy sauce or water into this smaller quantity to skinny it; we would like this small quantity pourable.
Put together the greens and tofu: Reduce the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then every half three extra occasions into lengthy wedge-shaped items (i.e. 6 lengthy items per cucumber). Reduce them into 1 1/2-inch lengths on a diagonal and add them to the massive bowl with the dressing.
