Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Pat the tofu dry and cut into cubes, then toss in the cornflour to coat.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the tofu for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides.

  4. 4

    Pour the sauce over the tofu and toss for 1–2 minutes until sticky and glossy.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then serve over the rice, scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 7 spring onions and 130 g firm tofu. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
