- Mix spring onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, chilli powder, sugar and sesame oil together in a bowl until evenly combined.
- Place rice in a serving bowl. Toss lettuce and cucumber together and place on top of rice. Arrange tofu over lettuce and cucumber. Drizzle sesame mixture over tofu to taste.
Note:
It won't be the same taste if you substitute Korean chilli powder with any other chilli pepper powder - it might be too spicy for some tastes.

This is so simple and delicious. The topping makes the dish. I roasted the sesame seeds and used sesame seed oil to char extra firm tofu. I also added fresh sliced mango with the cucumbers! - 03 Jan 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Perfect for those days when it's too hot to cook but not too hot for spicy. I addd some rice vinegar to the dressing and added carrots and garbanzo beans. - 23 May 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
