Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
In a bowl, mix the cubed tofu with lemongrass paste, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
3.
Spread the marinated tofu on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
4.
While the tofu is baking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine spinach, red cabbage, carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper.
5.
Once the tofu is done, let it cool slightly before adding it to the salad.
6.
Toss everything together and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later.
