Main Ingredients- 1/2 bowl cooked rice
- 70g lettuce
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 mini apple
- 5 pieces of firm tofu fish cakes (or similar)
- 1 baby carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take the firm tofu fish cakes from the freezer and lightly blanch them in boiling water with a pinch of salt. This step helps remove any potential odors and enhances their texture, making them softer.
Step 2
Prepare all your salad ingredients by chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Wash the lettuce and tear or cut it. For the avocado and mini apple, remove the pit and seeds, then dice them. Peel the baby carrot and slice it thinly or into matchsticks.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the cooked rice with a pinch of salt, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mix well and then form into small, easy-to-eat rice balls. These will provide a satisfying carbohydrate base for your salad.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared lettuce, diced avocado, apple, carrot, and blanched tofu fish cakes attractively on a plate. Place the rice balls in the center. Drizzle generously with balsamic sauce and honey to finish. A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a final touch of nutty flavor.
Step 5
Voilà! Your delicious and visually appealing morning salad is ready. Sharing a wholesome meal like this with loved ones is a wonderful way to start the day. Seeing your children enjoy the food brings immense joy, just like a proud hedgehog mom! (This last step reflects the happy sentiment of a mother watching her children savor the meal.)
