Note

For best texture, use firm or extra-firm tofu and press it before cutting to remove excess moisture.

You can substitute soy oil with olive oil or avocado oil if preferred.

Fresh basil can be used instead of dried; use about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.

This salad is best served immediately after sautéing to enjoy the contrast between the warm topping and cool lettuce.

Store any leftover sautéed mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving over fresh lettuce.
