We make this Vegan Tofu Salad in the quest to remember the wonderful vegetarian version of Lao traditional larb that we had in The Boat Landing Restaurant in Luang Namtha, Laos on 24 December 2018. Although this is no where near to the Northern Lao tofu salad that we had because we added lemongrass to our version of salad dressing, skipped ground toasted sticky rice as we are out of sticky rice to even toast then to begin with and there’s no banana flowers as well! We had planned to re-shoot the salad recipe according to or at least near to the version that we had because we just found out that this guest house and restaurant in Luang Namtha is no longer operating. Nevertheless, enjoy this video! Give us a thumbs up if you like this Tofu Salad with easy soy sauce dressing, subscribe if you haven’t and will like to see the improved version, last but not least share our videos to your love one & friends!
