Step 1
Drain and pat dry the 7 oz tofu, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and shred the carrot and red cabbage into thin strips.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the tofu cubes, cucumber slices, shredded carrot, and shredded red cabbage. Toss gently to mix.
Step 3
Toast the 2 tbsp sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes, shaking often.
Step 4
Cut the 2 nori sheets into thin strips with scissors. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and nori strips over the salad and toss once more.
Step 5
Serve immediately, optionally with a splash of soy sauce or a drizzle of sesame oil if you have them.
