Macadamia Free Vegan Tofu Larb

Bright, herby, and packed with bold Southeast Asian flavors, this vegan larb delivers everything you want from the classic Thai-Lao dish — tangy lime, fresh mint and cilantro, fiery chilies, and that irresistible savory depth — all built around crispy crumbled tofu. The secret weapon here is the toasted jasmine rice powder, which you make yourself in a dry skillet until the grains turn deep golden and nutty, then grind into a coarse dust that adds a subtle crunch and earthy backbone you simply can't replicate with a store-bought shortcut. Pressing the tofu and letting it sear undisturbed means you get genuinely crispy, golden pieces that hold up beautifully once tossed in the punchy tamari-lime dressing. Lemongrass, shallots, and green onions layer in aromatic complexity, while the fresh herbs keep every bite feeling light and vibrant. The whole thing comes together in one large mixing bowl, making cleanup almost as satisfying as the meal itself. Serve it tucked into butter lettuce cups for a fresh, handheld bite, or pile it over steamed jasmine rice when you want something more substantial. Every ingredient here is straightforward and nut-free by nature, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just clean, confident cooking.
