larb tofu

swanya thai cuisine recently opened up around the corner from me. i've only gotten delivery, but looks really cute from the outside.

anyway, the reason i bring it up is that swanya has opened my eyes to a wonderful thai dish, larb tofu.

i'm not a huge order-off-the-veggie menu kind of person, but in order to get delivery, i needed to push my order over $15. i'm not sure what compelled me to order this, but now it's a favorite.

larb tofu is seasoned with a very fresh chili-lime dressing, and the tofu soaks it all up perfectly. it's also served with carrots, basil, cabbage, red onion, and chili. but hard-core vegetarians, don't let the asians fool you - the good flavor comes from fish sauce, so it's not entirely veggie. no wonder i like it.

the next time you're doing thai, try this. if you find another good place for it (or if you prepare it at home and have a recipe to share), please post in the comments section.
