SALT AND PEPPER TOFU WITH VEGGIE STIR-FRY (VEGAN)
Salt And Pepper Tofu With Veggie Stir-Fry (Vegan)
Serve:1
Ingredients for the salt and pepper tofu:
250gram Tofu(Firm to medium firm)
1tbs Coconut oil
1tbs Sesame seed
1-2tbs Honey
2/3tsp Salt
1/4tsp Ground black pepper
Ingredients for the stir-fry:
160gram Stir-fry vegetables
25gram Red onion-thinly sliced
2 cloves Garlic-finely chopped
1 Spring onion-chunky chopped
1tbs Coconut oil
1tsp Light soy sauce
1tsp Dark soy sauce
1/2tsp Chopped Red Chilli
1/4tsp Sugar
3tbs Water
Method
– Cover the tofu block with the kitchen towel and gently apply the pressure to get rid of the excess water. Make sure the tofu is dry as much as possible. Then cut it into chunky cubes and put the tofu chunks in a mixing bowl.
– Sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper. Then, toss until the tofu is well covered with the seasoning.
– Put one tablespoon of coconut oil into the non-slip frying pan, turn on the hob to high heat and wait until the oil is hot.
-Transfer the seasoned tofu into a pan. Usually, it will take about 3-5 minutes to fry on each side to create a crisp and golden colour. Next, drizzle the tofu with honey and sesame seeds, toss to combine. Then transfer the tofu chunks onto the kitchen towel. Set a side.
– Put the coconut oil into the same pan. Then add the red onion, garlic, and red chilli. Wait until the oil is infused with herbs (approx. 1-2 minutes). Then add the vegetable, light,dark soya sauce, sugar and water. Stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked.Lastly, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
-Transfer the vegetables onto the serving dish. Then top with the lovely crispy yet silky tofu. Serve immediately with steamed Thai jasmine rice.
Tips:
– Make sure that you use the kitchen paper to dry all the excess water of the tofu prior to seasoning.
– I often have Salt And Pepper Tofu With Veggie Stir-Fry (Vegan) with teriyaki or sweet chilli dipping sauce to intensify the whole dish.
