Brazil Nut Free Vegan Tofu Larb

This vibrant Thai-inspired salad is bright, herby, and packed with bold flavor from fresh lime juice, tamari, shallots, lemongrass, and a generous handful of mint and cilantro. The real secret weapon is the toasted jasmine rice powder — a few minutes in a dry skillet transforms plain grains into a nutty, fragrant dust that adds incredible texture to every bite. Crumbled extra-firm tofu gets crisped up in a hot pan until golden and slightly chewy, giving the dish a satisfying, meaty quality that holds up beautifully against the punchy dressing. Because every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable plant-based staple, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden tree nut derivatives or worry about cross-contact from packaged convenience foods. The dressing comes together in seconds and the whole thing is tossed warm, so the tofu soaks up all that tangy, spicy, umami-rich goodness before it hits the table. Serve it tucked into butter lettuce cups for a light, fresh presentation, or spoon it over steamed jasmine rice when you want something a little more filling. It's the kind of dish that tastes like it took serious skill but is honestly just smart technique and good ingredients.
