What are good proteins for a salad? I had chicken strips again tonight but

19. triangles

I got into the triangle habit from Mollie Katzen's Szechuan tofu triangles recipe, but WF cuts them in rectangles. I like the triangles about 1.5 inches wide and an inch tall.

Here's my orange glaze recipe:

The Glaze

1/2 cup orange juice (from 1 medium orange)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 good-sized cloves)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Combine all the glaze ingredients (except the cornstarch) in a liquid measuring cup with a spout, and whisk until blended. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl, and drizzle in about 1/4 cup of the glaze, whisking constantly until the cornstarch is dissolved. (The mixture will be cloudy.) Pour this solution back into the measuring cup, whisking it in. Set aside, leaving the whisk in the cup.

Saute the tofu triangles in a little sesame oil in a nonstick pan.

Whisk the glaze to reincorporate the cornstarch (it will have settled to the bottom) then quickly pour the whole cupful into the nonstick pan. Cook and stir for just about a minute more. The glaze will coat everything and thicken a little.

They're best served immediately over the salad (I also like to add toasted sesame seed), but I also store them in containers and put them on salads cold, too. Good either way.
