Sesame-Almond Salad

Another tasty yet healthful meal! The best part were the five spice almonds. I made this a bit ago, so I can't remember amounts.

Asian Tofu Salad

Romaine Lettuce
Carrots
Broccoli (sauteed and steam in small amount of sesame oil)
Water Chestnuts
Celery
Cucumber
1 Tbs. Soy Sauce
3-4 Tbs. Rice Vinegar
1 Tbs. Honey
1 Tbs. Sesame Oil
Ginger (1/2 - 1 inch piece)
1 clove Garlic
Terriyaki Tofu
Five Spice Almonds (see below)

Layer lettuce, sliced celery, slice cucumbers, shredded carrots, water chestnuts, and broccoli in a large bowl. Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and grated garlic in a bowl. Pour over salad and toss. I made the baked terriyaki tofu from The Higher Road to Health. Serve on a plate, topped with terriyaki tofu and five spice almonds.

Five Spice Almonds

1 c. slivered almonds
1 Tbs. neutral oil
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. five spice powder
1-2 Tbs. honey
salt to taste

Heat oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add almonds and stir occasionally to keep from burning. When they start to smell (but before they start to brown), add the ginger and five spice powder. Stir well, and cook until almonds just start to brown and the mixture is very aromatic. Add honey, and stir for a few minutes to glaze evenly. Let cool on a plate.
