Ingredients

  • 200 g extra firm tofu (one thick slice measuring ~ 4 x 5 inches)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (or vegan alternative)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh coriander (cilantro), to serve
  • Cashew nuts, chopped, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu, and squeeze it between two towels to remove any excess water. Cut it into 1cm dice.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the diced tofu. Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy all over.
  • Meanwhile, in a small jug, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic and five spice, along with a good pinch of black pepper. Mix well.
  • When the tofu is crispy, pour over the sauce, and mix to combine. Allow the mixture to bubble a little, until it has reduced by half, and is thick and sticky.
  • Serve the honey soy tofu topped with fresh coriander and chopped cashew nuts.
