Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables for your salad. Thinly slice the cucumber and cabbage. Cut the king oyster mushroom into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely shred the lettuce leaves after washing them thoroughly.
Step 2
It’s important to drain as much water as possible from the silken tofu. Place the tofu in a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out the excess water. This will reduce the salad’s moisture and enhance the tofu’s flavor.
Step 3
Cook the chicken breast by boiling or steaming it, then shred it into bite-sized pieces along the grain. Shredding it this way ensures a tender and moist texture, preventing it from becoming dry.
Step 4
Let’s make a delicious Oriental dressing! In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk thoroughly until well combined to create the dressing. Taste the dressing and adjust the amount of honey or vinegar to suit your preference.
Step 5
Artfully arrange the prepared vegetables, shredded chicken breast, and drained silken tofu in a serving bowl. Drizzle the homemade Oriental dressing generously over the top. Your delicious Chicken Breast and Tofu Salad is now ready to enjoy!
