You need this tofu recipe in your life people!

Recipe - Uses one block of tofu

Tofu

• 1 Block Firm Tofu

• 3 Tbsp Cornflour

• 1 Tbsp Coconut/Olive Oil

Sauce

• Thumb Ginger

• 2 Garlic Cloves

• 1 Tbsp Brown/Coconut Sugar

• 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup

• 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce/Tamari

• 1 Tbsp Tomato Puree

• 1 Tbsp Sriracha

• 1 Tbsp Cornflour mixed with 1tsp water

• Sesame Seeds to Garnish

Method

1. Prepare your tofu by draining and pressing to remove all the water. I like to wrap mine in kitchen towel and pop it under a heavy board for 10 minutes.

2. Once pressed, chop into cubes or rectangles. However you like it!

3. Put cornflour in a tub and add in tofu. Place lid on tub and shake so that the cornflour covers all the pieces of tofu well.

4. Once coated, fry until all sides are crispy and golden. Remove from pan and set aside.

5. Crush garlic and finely chop the ginger. Fry in a pan then add in all the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. Mix the cornflour with the water before adding to the pan.

6. Cook on a low heat and the sauce should thicken up.

7. Add the tofu to the sauce and stir well to coat all the tofu and ensure tofu is heated through.

8. Remove from pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Tips

Crispy tofu is definitely best served hot and consumed asap to keep that crispy texture.

However I did try this cold as a snack in itself and it was still so good!

Really ensure your tofu is well covered in the cornflour in the initial stage as this will give it that nice crisp all over.

Ensure you don't over cook the tofu so it goes too hard, you want to fry it until it just gets that golden colour on the outside. Don't forget to turn it to fry all sides.

I get loads of my ingredients from Buy Wholefoods Online check them out as they have such a range of products at great prices.
