Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 16 ounces Extra Firm Tofu ((450g))
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 5 Dried Red Chilies
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
  • 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper (Sliced )
  • 1/3 cup Green Onions (Chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Roasted Salted Peanuts ((37g))
  • Basmati Rice
  • Chopped Green Onions

Instruction

  • Press the tofu for 20 minutes. Either use a tofu press or place the tofu on a plate, with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top, like a heavy pot.
  • While the tofu is pressing, chop up the red bell pepper and green onions and add all the sauce ingredients to a measuring jug and whisk them together.
  • When the tofu is pressed, slice it into cubes. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan or skillet and then add the tofu cubes and fry, gently turning over the tofu until it's nicely browned. Remove the tofu from the pan.
  • To the pan add sesame oil and dried chilies and fry for 2 minutes. Then add the crushed garlic, minced ginger, red bell pepper, chopped green onions and peanuts. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tofu back to the pan, pour over the sauce and stir fry until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve over basmati rice topped with a sprinkle of green onions.
