Questions

Is there a substitute for rice vinegar in Dubu Salad?

The entry for Dubu Salad calls for 2 tsp rice vinegar. In its place: Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, softened with a pinch of sugar, is close. Avoid plain distilled vinegar at full strength, which is much sharper.

Can I use a different firmness of tofu instead of tofu in Dubu Salad?

Go firmer, not softer. Extra-firm stands in for firm anywhere; anything softer breaks up when it is fried or stirred. Press it for 15 minutes either way. As written, the entry for Dubu Salad uses 14 oz firm tofu, diced.

Can I make Dubu Salad gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Dubu Salad is 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

Does Dubu Salad contain sesame?

Yes: 2 tsp toasted sesame oil and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, soy and sesame. Seeds used as a garnish can simply be left off; the oil has no true substitute. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How long does Dubu Salad keep?

The base of Dubu Salad is vinegar, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. Add the sesame seeds at the table so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.
