Making tofu tastier can be as simple as tossing it in a knockout sauce like this Sichuan-inspired peanut dressing. To make this cucumber salad recipe a meal, add rice noodles and double the dressing. Serve with an extra drizzle of sesame oil and sliced scallions.
1 ½ tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons toasted (dark) sesame oil
1 teaspoon black bean-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon chile-garlic sauce or Sriracha, or to taste
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
8 ounces extra-firm water-packed tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large English cucumber, quartered and sliced 3/4 inch thick
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, divided
