Crispy tofu salad with avocado & pomegranate

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Salads
This salad is a masterpiece of contrasts: hot, savoury fried tofu meets cold, crunchy pomegranate, which explodes in the mouth like tiny 'flavour bombs'. The peppery bite of rocket provides a base, complemented by the earthy taste of toasted pumpkin seeds. A plate that proves meat-free dining can be exciting, satisfying, and full of surprises.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Kitchen paper (for pressing tofu)
  • Chopping board

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Nuts (trace)

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper and place a weight on it for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water.

Tip: Less water = better marinade absorption and crispier results. (Reduction of water activity).
2 ✓

Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. In a bowl, mix half the oil, the crushed garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss the tofu in it.

Tip: Let stand for 5-10 minutes for flavours to permeate its structure.
3 ✓

Heat a frying pan and fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides (approx. 6-8 minutes). Remove to a plate.

Tip: Don't move them too often; let a crust form. (Maillard reaction).
4 ✓

In the same pan (without cleaning), toast the pumpkin seeds for 1-2 minutes, then set aside.

Tip: The spiced oil remaining in the pan gives extra flavour to the seeds.
5 ✓

Wash and dry the rocket. Slice the avocado. Prepare the dressing: mix the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Tip: The acidic dressing 'cuts through' the richness of the avocado.
6 ✓

Assemble the salad: bed of rocket, topped with warm tofu, avocado, and finally sprinkle with pomegranate and toasted pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with dressing just before eating.

Recipe FAQ

How do I remove pomegranate seeds?
Cut it in half and tap the skin with a wooden spoon over a bowl. The seeds will fall out while the white pith stays behind.
Can I swap the rocket?
If you find it too peppery, use baby spinach or lamb's lettuce, but rocket gives the dish its character.
