Ingredients

for the dressing

  • 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1 TB soy sauce
  • 1 TB raw agave nectar
  • 1 tsp pomegranate molasses

for the salad

  • 14 oz. firm tofu, cubed into dice-sized pieces (no need to press the tofu: dry-frying actually works better when there is some moisture left in the tofu.)
  • 1 bunch of curly kale, destemmed and ripped into small piecespomegranate seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat some olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Dry-fry the tofu cubes on each side until browned, about 7 minutes per side. It’s not necessary to saute all sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the dressing to the saute pan and toss the cubes around to coat them.
  3. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly until it is bubbly and slightly thick, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Toss the kale and tofu together, and drizzle the leftover dressing from the pan onto the salad. Top with the pomegranate seeds.
