Set another pot of water to boil. Add salt and take the bite sized vegetables (such as broccoli florets, asparagus, cauliflower, green beans, etc.) and blanch them in the hot water for a little more than one minute. Remove the vegetables from the hot water and then run cold water over them. Put the vegetables into a large bowl and then pour out about one third cup of the dressing over the vegetables till they are well coated. Add the tofu now and toss well with the vegetables. You may sprinkle some of the red pepper flakes to suit your taste.
