Press tofu.

Whisk together fish sauce, 1/4 cup vinegar, sugar, shallot, Sriracha, and ginger. Transfer tofu to a baking dish and top with marinade. Marinate at room temperature, 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss carrots with remaining vinegar. Season with salt and refrigerate.

Cook's Note
Hello, Saigon
Marinated in Sriracha, tofu takes on a hint of sweet chile. Quick-pickled carrots add acidity and crunch.
