Method
Slice the shallots thinly, mince the garlic, finely chop the chillies, and pick the mint and coriander leaves.
Whisk together the lime juice, light soy sauce, palm sugar, garlic and chillies in a large bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
Pat the tofu dry, slice into thick slabs, and brush both sides with the vegetable oil.
Heat a griddle pan until very hot and grill the tofu for 3 minutes per side until deeply charred and heated through.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces.
Add the tofu, shallots and spring onions to the dressing and toss gently to combine.
Scatter over the mint and coriander and serve immediately.
