 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  pound         Firm tofu
    1/4  cup           Red onion -- sliced
  1      each          Green onion -- chopped
    1/4  cup           Mint leaves -- chopped
  2      pounds        Assorted vegetables -- chopped
  2      tablespoons   Soy sauce
  2      tablespoons   Lime juice
    1/2  teaspoon      Ground toasted rice*
  1      tablespoon    Ground roasted chilies+

Cut the tofu into cubes.  Set aside on paper towels to drain.  Heat a wok &
add the tofu without oil.  Stir-fry until heated through, but not crisp.
Put in a mixing bowl.

Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables & lettuce.
Mix thoroughly.  Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce leaves & pour
the saute over them.  Serve surrounded by rice & assorted vegetables.

*Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to prevent
burning.  When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool & gring to a
powder.  It is best to use a mortar & pestle.

+Roast whole chilies, stems too, in a dry wok until they darken.  Be
careful that they do not burn.  Cool.  Remove stems & seeds.  Grind.
