Tofu Skin Salad, Som Tam

20240726 #breakfastdiary 1128, 27°C/cloudy An experimental breakfast with tofu skin tossed in som tam dressing. In Thai, "som" means sour and "tam" means to pound — but I didn't actually pound anything, so what should I even call this? Whatever, it's #tofuskinsalad Soak the tofu skin in water before bed. In a bowl, add cherry tomatoes, fish sauce, palm sugar (regular sugar works too), and lime juice in equal ratios, and mix well so the flavors meld together (mashing the tomatoes would really let the umami blend with the dressing, but I was short on time,). Cut blanched green beans and the tofu skin into bite-sized pieces, add to the bowl with the dressing, and mix evenly. Since it's a breakfast salad, I removed all the spice completely, but a peperoncino or two, or a bit of red pepper flakes, would probably be better. It is som tam after all,
