How to cook
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Servings: Main for 2 people or starter for up to 4 people
- To prepare the marinade, mix 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon each of minced ginger and minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime in a bowl. Next, microwave the marinade for 30 seconds, then stir until it achieves a smooth but runny consistency.
- Take 1 drained pack of pressed tofu and slice into reasonably sized and thick squares or strips. Place the tofu on a serving dish without layering and coat in the marinade. Set aside for the time being.
- Trim a whole Chinese leaf and shred at least one half of it, then set side. Next, slice a whole red pepper and chop 3 spring onions crossways, then set aside as well, along with 2 carrots sliced into ribbons and a handful of bean sprouts.
- To make the sweet and sour slaw dressing, mix 1 tablespoon each of minced ginger, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, vegetable oil and sesame oil, together with more freshly squeezed lime juice, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
- Toss the vegetables in the slaw dressing and place on a serving dish.
- Next, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and fry the tofu until brown on both sides. This should take you approximately 10 minutes.
- When ready, place the tofu on top of the sweet and sour slaw, garnish with a sprinkling of finely chopped coriander and enjoy.
