Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is a texture and flavor delight. I gave the tofu cubes a quick fry to get some texture on them as my kids don’t like raw tofu. We passed the crumbled seaweed separately to preserve the texture of the leftovers. Definitely worth repeating and the lemon dressing is great.

    We really liked this. We air-fried the tofu, and I would do that again (skipping the dredging though). We used about half of the dressing.

    Quite tasty. I actually upped the dressing (I like things saucy, and used more noodles and cucumber than called for). I fried the tofu. Looking forward to eating this for the rest of the week.

    Quick and easy. Half the dressing was the right amount for me; I just used a tiny bit of cayenne. I fried the tofu as suggested, as I liked the idea of crispy bits, but won't bother next time unless I can find a good recipe for frying it. I didn't have the vegetables called for, so I used grated carrot, cooked green beans and edamame. The nori strips did add nice flavor, but the salad would still be enjoyable without them. With the salty dressing and nori, I only added 1 tsp kosher salt. Overall, I enjoyed this, but my family not so much - think they would have preferred chicken instead of tofu.

    I love this dish. The dressing is the best part. It's easy to mix in a jar. It's very flavorful. I left out the hot pepper. I didn't have tofu so I used roasted chicken instead and left out the extra oil. I rinsed the noodles and added a bit of the dressing instead. I will likely add this to my favorites.
