Sticky Sesame Tofu
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed ginger
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Rice
- 2 spring onions
- Lime (to serve)
Instructions
- Drain your tofu and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Rip the tofu into small chunks and place in a large bowl with the cornflour. Mix to coat the tofu in the cornflour.
- To a large saucepan on a medium to high heat add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil followed by the tofu coated in the cornflour. Fry for around 5-10 minutes (turning half way through), until the tofu starts to crisp up.
- Make the sauce by mixing the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup or agave, garlic, ginger, tomato puree, rice wine vinegar and water in a small bowl.
- Once the tofu is cooked and crispy, turn the heat down to medium and pour over the sauce. Coat the tofu in the sauce and cook for 2/3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken up.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame seeds.
- Serve the tofu with rice, spring onion and a lime wedge.
