This is the easiest salad you can make with tofu. Tofu come in very different consistency and flavor, for instance there are the fresh ones and the processed ones. For this salad I used the processed, which is produced from a fresh tofu, you can find usually in the refrigerator section and it is not kept in water. Most of the baked tofu contains salt and spices, therefore it is not necessary to add more flavor to it, making this dish is extremely simple and yet very savory.
Ingredients:
1 pack of baked tofu
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot oil
Preparation:
Slice the baked tofu (thin), add the soy sauce, sesame oil and the hot oil. Mix gently and fold in the cilantro. It is ready to serve.
Did you know that tofu is made by coagulating soy milk? Therefore tofu is low in calories and is low fat. Moreover, tofu is rich in iron.

I have to say it: I am not a tofu fan. I’ve had it grilled and loved it. Just don’t think I would like it any other way. Your photos look very tempting. I wonder if I should give it another try? I do drink a soy/strawberry/ultra meal shake a few mornings a week so I know how good it is for you.
Juliana, I love this tofu, and always have it in my refrigerator. Never made it into salad yet, but now I will. It look quite tempting.
What a beautiful way to have tofu. We love tofu, but have never baked it this way. But I always use sesame oil with tofu. The flavors pair really well with the “no flavor” of tofu.
This is my first time learning about baked tofu! Wow, I can’t wait to try it!
This looks wonderful. Thanks so much for this recipe.

Thank you! What a great lunch idea for me–I never know what to do with tofu!
This is so simple and sounds delicious. I bet it would be great on a tofu burger too!
I never know what to do with tofu, and I’ve never seen baked tofu before, this salad looks great.
I LOVE tofu salads! So delicious. Especially baked tofu…I love whatever flavoring it is that they put on it. Sounds delicious.
This looks so simple, healthy and yummy! I’ve never seen a salad like this. I’d love to try it!
Sounds good. Honestly- I’ve never purchased tofu! I’ve had it out at restaurants but never eat it at home…I should give it a try
This is such a pretty salad! I love how bright and fresh the flavors are and I bet the delicious flavor of the tofu really shines through!
I never think to slice tofu as thin as this. But I bet it would be a nice new texture to use, especially in salads like that. Thanks for the great tip!
It sounds so easy! I love tofu but can’t say I’ve ever come across baked tofu before (I’ve seen fried ones and marinated ones though). WIll keep an eye out for it.
I’ve never purchased baked tofu. It looks denser in texture, and delicious!
wow this is cool never had baked tofu before looks yum
Oh, my church members made this ALL the time. She also had these eggs to go along with it!
That looks simple, healthy and delicious. I can eat that as a meal on it’s own….yum
I love tofu but always lack great recipes – thanks for this one! Another one to add to my collection. It looks so healthy!
I’m always looking for new ways to use tofu- this looks great!
I must find some baked tofu. Ben loves it and I can never figure out what to do with it!
Looks very good, I had never heard of baked tofu either.
Sounds like a nutritious and yummy salad with tofu!
Mmm I ate a salad in Taiwan with a lot of the same flavors as this one, but it also had bean sprouts and seaweed!
YUM! wonderful and healthy – i love it!
I’ve never had tofu yet. You sure make it look yummy!
Juliana
I had no idea you could prepare tofu in such a light and simple way! Hurray! I have some tofu I need to consume and was running out of inspiration! Thanks for the idea.
I have never seen anything like this but it looks good – what a protein packed salad.
It looks yummy but I’ve been a bit shy to cook with tofu.
I haven’t seen baked tofu before. Your salad looks delicious.
Mimi
I’m a big tofu fan and this looks like a lovely way to enjoy it – yum!
baking tofu sounds doubly healthy =)
I love the looks of this! I’ve never seen such thinly sliced tofu before- I can only imagine how incredible that texture is. I sure wish we had a high-quality baked tofu like this here, all the varieties I know are much softer/crumbly.
i’ve never had tofu prepared in this way, but since it takes on the flavors of the ingredients with which it’s prepared and since i LOVE cilantro, i’d be a big fan of this dish!
I have only had tofu once.. prepared by a wonderful friend of mine. I don’t think I could ever do it justice, but I love your preparation here.
What a refreshing dish, would love some to go with my porridge tonight!
I’ve never seen baked tofu. I’ll have to look for this at Whole Foods tomorrow!
I love this kind of tofu salad and I”m surprised I haven’t made it for my husband yet, since he likes baked tofu, but doesn’t really like softer tofus.
This looks really interesting! The ingredients are reatively simple, but the combination of flavors looks wonderful. (And I’ll take any excuse to use more cilantro!)
Delicious! I have never had the kind of tofu you used in your recipe, but I have had quite a bit of tofu in my life! I look forward to trying this recipe! I hope I can make it taste as good are your photos look!
I use this kind of tofu all the time but I’ve just never added it to salad. It’s a great idea!
I never had this kind of tofu before… we always had it soft… we love tofu so this is something new to try.. thanks!
Caramba, eu sabia que você era prendada mas com todas essas receitas…fazer e tirar fotos é demais. Na próxima vez que formos aí nem vou querer ir a restaurante, vamos experimentar as suas receitas. Parabéns pelo aniversário do seu site, parece bastante visitada, as vezes entro e vejo e fico feliz em ver algumas receitas brasileiras. Um abraço!
Simple at its best! I love love love this salad. Going to try it out soon.

Canım tam olarak ne olduğunu anlıyamadım:)Süpper!
I have not made tofu in a while. Never baked it either, and this is intriguing… I tend to eat just vegetables stir fry…
I have never tried baked tofu-looks yummy!!
sweetlife
I do not think I’ve ever used baked tofu but that may have to change this recipe is very intriguing for me, look forward to trying. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this looks really fantastic!!
Baked tofu is new to me! I must explore that. This salad looks simple and healthy.
I love tofu anything. That tofu you used looks quite interesting – I’m not sure I’ve seen it around before.
I thought at first that it was shaved machego cheese or something similar! A baked tofu salad sounds perfect for a light yet filling meal. Any recipe that’s complete in just two sentences is my kind of recipe!!
What luck coming across this post today. I was looking for a great tofu recipe for dinner tonight. Seeing it’s still a little humid and sticky about here in Brisbane, this refreshing salad looks just the perfect solution!
This sounds so awesome and I know I would like it.
I love simple and healthy recipes, love tofu too. gotta try your recipe but will be a different firm tofu, I can’t buy the one you used here. It looks like a Taiwanese dish to me too.
