More & more people are cutting down on meat, whether they are turning vegetarian, vegan, or just including more plant based dishes. Tofu can be really bland and uninspiring if you're not sure what to do with it, but this Tofu dish is packed with flavour & will hopefully convert you if you've previously found it tasteless - as to be honest, I have!
SERVES 2
200g Firm tofu
4 dessert spoons light oil . I used light olive oil, you can use any other mild flavoured oil.
2 dessert spoons tamari soy sauce
1 level dessert spoon ground ginger
That's it. Just 4 ingredients!
1. Pat the tofu dry with a clean tea towel or paper towel. You want to get as much liquid out as you can. Then chop the tofu up into cubes as shown.
2 In a bowl, mix up the oil, tamari & the ginger powder to make the marinade.
3 Pour the marinade over the tofu and mix well to make sure all the pieces are evenly covered in the sauce.
4 leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
6. Place the tofu in a non stick frying pan & stir fry it for about 5 mins, over a medium heat until the outside starts to brown. (It's been marinating in oil so you don't need any extra oil to cook it this way.) Keep turning the pieces over so they cook evenly.
Served here with brown rice pasta, carrots, mushrooms and spinach. You can serve with rice, quinoa, any veggies you like.
Another extra finishing touch that I love (which I forgot here!) is to sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the tofu once its cooked.
