Set the salad sauce aside.

In the same mixing bowl, add the chopped dry shrimp, cubed red onion, diced tomato, cilantro leaves, and sliced spring onions.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, enjoying the fragrance of the lime.

Taste the mixture to ensure the flavors are balanced, adjusting if necessary.

Place the dressing on top of the fried tofu and serve.
