Calories:
Ingredients
- 200 g extra firm tofu (one thick slice measuring ~ 4 x 5 inches)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey (or vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice
- Black pepper
- Fresh coriander (cilantro), to serve
- Cashew nuts, chopped, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Drain the tofu, and squeeze it between two towels to remove any excess water. Cut it into 1cm dice.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced tofu. Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy all over.
- Meanwhile, in a small jug, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic and five spice, along with a good pinch of black pepper. Mix well.
- When the tofu is crispy, pour over the sauce, and mix to combine. Allow the mixture to bubble a little, until it has reduced by half, and is thick and sticky.
- Serve the honey soy tofu topped with fresh coriander and chopped cashew nuts.
