    1 tablespoon sesame oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup walnuts
    1/4 lb tofu
    1 chopped carrot
    1/2 cup chopped bok choy
    1 teaspoon soy sauce
    1 teaspoon rice vinegar
    1 teaspoon brown mustard
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil
    4 cups shredded lettuce
    1 tablespoon miso
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon or 1 tablespoon lime juice
    2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Preparation
    Chop nuts in food processor (or with hammer, etc) until coarsely ground. Toast in oil in skillet over low-medium heat.
    Crumble tofu into skillet. Add carrot, bok choy, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, basil and about a tablespoon of water. Stir until mixed then cover and let steam until carrots are tender (about 3 minutes).
