Spicy Garlic-Sesame Tofu

What you’ll need

• 450g extra-firm tofu
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
• black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 red chilli, sliced
• 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 2 spring onions, sliced. Optional: a tiny measured pinch of NutriRight salt only after tasting.

Let’s cook

1. Press tofu dry and cut into cubes.
2. Coat with cornflour and pepper.
3. Pan-fry in oil 8–10 minutes, turning until golden; remove.
4. Cook garlic and chilli for 30 seconds.
5. Add soy, vinegar, honey and water; bubble briefly.
6. Return tofu and toss quickly.
7. Finish with sesame and spring onion.
8. Because soy sauce already contains sodium, taste before adding any salt.
