Spicy Tofu

1/2 lb Firm tofu

1/4 c Red onion, sliced

1 ea Green onion, chopped

1/4 c Mint leaves, chopped

2 lb Assorted vegetables, chopped

2 tb Soy sauce

2 tb Lime juice

1/2 ts Ground toasted rice*

1 tb Ground roasted chilies+

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.
