Crispy Chilli Tofu

21st March 2021 by Alan Brewer Leave a Comment

Personally, I have never really tried Vegan food however I did jump on the Veganuary train and was pleasantly surprised with the amazing foods we ate. Some of the best dishes we found were from the book BOSH! by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby. Gentleman I salute you, you made Veganuary so much fun.

So…..one of the recipes that my fiancé and I fell in love with was their Crispy Chilli Tofu. Having never been a fan of Tofu if I can say one thing and one thing only is, try this and like me you will be converted. It is that good it is now a welcome dish any day of the week and best of all our kids like it too. Result!

  • Tip away the excess oilfrom the pan and place back on the heat. pur in the lemon juice, orange juice, chilli sauce and soy sauce then bring to the boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced and slightly syrupy.
  • Add the tofu to the sauce and cook for about 5 more minutes turning occasionaly to cover in the sauce.
  • Serve on its own, with rice and sprinkled with the spring onion and sesame seeds.
