  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.
