## Tips

- A two-minute dip in salted boiling water is key to this recipe for the tofu skin.
- The ingredients have similar cooking times so just dump it all in there.
- American celtuce isn’t the best, so I blanched it since it tends to be “old” or tough. If you find better celtuce feel free to slice thinly and use raw.
