Step 1

Cut tofu in half horizontally. Place on flat plate; place another plate on top to weigh down. Let stand for 15 minutes. Drain off water; pat tofu dry. In non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium high heat; cook tofu, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. Let cool.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans for about 4 minutes or until tender-crisp. Remove with slotted spoon and cool under cold water; drain on towels.

Step 3

In same pot of boiling water, repeat with cabbage, cooking for 4 minutes. Repeat with bean sprouts, cooking for 10 seconds.

Step 4

Slice tofu. In shallow bowl, attractively arrange tofu, green beans, cabbage, bean sprouts, cucumber, pineapple and eggs. Top with peanut dressing.

Step 5

In small skillet, heat oil set over medium heat. Cook ginger and garlic, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened; set aside.
