Spicy Tofu

Ingredients

1/2 lb firm tofu
1/4 c onion
1 green onion
1/4 c mint leaves
2 lb assorted vegetables
2 tb soy sauce
2 tb lime juice
1/2 ts rice
1 tb chilies

Instructions

Cut the tofu into cubes. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Heat a wok & add the tofu without oil. Stir-fry until heated through, but not crisp. Put in a mixing bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables & lettuce. Mix thoroughly. Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce leaves & pour the saute over them. Serve surrounded by rice & assorted vegetables. *Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to prevent burning. When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool & gring to a powder. It is best to use a mortar & pestle. +Roast whole chilies, stems too, in a dry wok until they darken. Be careful that they do not burn. Cool. Remove stems & seeds. Grind.
