Ingredients
- 1 block (450g/1lb) extra firm tofu
- 2 heaped tablespoon cornflour
- 1.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- Inch fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon sriracha
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 175ml/ 3/4 cup water
- 1/2-1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- Sliced spring onion/scallions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cut or break tofu into 1 inch chunks. Breaking it will give you a more rugged edge and fry up crispier. Cut into strips then break into pieces. It will make around 30 chunks.
- Toss tofu in the cornflour and heat up a tablespoon of oil on medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a bowl.
- In the same pan heat the sesame oil and then add the ginger and fry until fragrant. Add the sriracha, brown sugar, soy sauce, water and chilli flakes if using.
- Increase the heat until simmering and cook for around 30 seconds until thickened. Add the tofu back in to heat through and then serve!
- Top with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.
