Spicy Tofu

Directions

Cut the tofu into cubes.

Set aside on paper towels to drain.

Heat a wok and add the tofu without oil.

Stir-fry until heated through, but not crisp.

Put in a mixing bowl.

Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables and lettuce.

Mix thoroughly.

Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce leaves and pour the sauté over them.

Serve surrounded by rice and assorted vegetables.

*Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to prevent burning.

When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool and gring to a powder.

It is best to use a mortar and pestle.

Roast whole chilies, stems too, in a dry wok until they darken.

Be careful that they do not burn.

Cool.

Remove stems and seeds.

Grind.
