Crispy sticky tofu
By: Louise Hammond
Ingredients
- 300gm tofu
- 3 tbsp ABC sweet soy sauce
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tbsp corn starch (only 1 tbsp used in sauce)
- 3 - 4 tbsp water
- 3 tbsps neutral oil (I used canola)
- Garnish with sesame seeds
Product used in recipe
- ABC - SWEET SOY SAUCE
Method
- Drain and press tofu with either a tofu press or in between a clean tea towel with something heavy on top to remove the excess water.
- In a small bowl or ramekin add the sweet soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water, stir or whisk to combine.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the tofu pieces in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Pan fry for a few minutes on both sides until you have golden and crispy tofu.
- Pour the marinade into the pan which will become very bubbly instantly. Quickly turn all the tofu pieces over so they are coated on both sides and serve on a dish straight away.Garnish with the sesame seeds and enjoy your Crispy Sticky Tofu! I served mine with white rice and some steamed vegetables.
