How can I adjust the spice level in this Thai Tofu 'Larb'?

To reduce the heat, remove the seeds from the fresh red chili before chopping. For more spice, you can leave the seeds in or add extra chili flakes.

What do dulse flakes add to the dressing?

Dulse flakes contribute a subtle umami depth and a hint of sea flavor to the dressing, enhancing the overall complexity of the 'Larb'.

What are the best garnishes for this Thai Tofu 'Larb'?

The recipe suggests thinly sliced red onion, sunflower seeds, and fresh cilantro, which add crunch, texture, and a fresh aromatic finish.

How should I store leftover Thai Tofu 'Larb' mixture?

Store the tofu mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's best to assemble the wraps fresh when serving to keep the romaine crisp.

How to Prepare Thai Tofu ‘Larb’ [Vegan]

Make the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for now.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the shallots, fresh chili, garlic and green onion. Cook for three minutes, stirring occasionally and adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time when the ingredients start to stick.
Add the tofu and the dressing and stir until everything is combined.
Cook for an additional three minutes and then allow to cool.
To assemble, place tofu mixture in romaine leaves and top with red onions, sunflower seeds and cilantro.
