Nourishing Herbed Shan "Tofu" Salad with Greens & Garlic Basil Dressing (Soy-Free)


I've been told countless times that I eat too much soy. While I've read conflicting arguments, it remains a kind of staple in my diet. I've found almond and soy milk to be the only dairy replacements that don't separate and cause residue in my tea or cereal, edamame is one of my favourite snacks, and tofu is so easy to chop, fry or scramble. Plus, it's so much cheaper than its lesser-evil fermented soy-based cousin, tempeh. I do stand behind the "fewer processed foods" side of the argument, though- and I try to use other replacements as often as I can. Usually, it's when I'm not feeling lazy or hangry (hungry + angry; it's a real condition). The latest one I've tried comes from Burma, and it's so simple to make.
