This recipe is great for a quick weeknight meal and only contains a few ingredients.
Ingredients:
Salt & Pepper Tofu
- 1 packet of firm tofu, drained
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- ½ tsp of salt
- Canola oil for frying
- Chilli flakes
- 1 packet of mixed stir fry vegetables, I like to use the superfood mix.
- A few stems of kale, with the stalks, removed, roughly chopped
- 1-2 tbs of soy sauce
- 1 tbs of sesame oil
Method:
- Place tofu block onto a cutting board. Place a second cutting board over tofu. Place a heavy object on top of the cutting board, preferably a heavy can. Apply the weight on the tofu for about 15-20 minutes, to release water from tofu.
- Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry the tofu cubes with a paper towel.
- Add about 1 inch of oil to the pan being used for frying. Bring to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, white pepper and salt. Add to a large ziplock bag. Add in tofu and seal bag. Shake bag several times until tofu is evenly coated in starch.
- When oil is hot, add a few pieces of tofu and fry until crispy on all sides before removing.
- Repeat with remaining tofu until all tofu is fried. Keep tofu waiting to be fried in the cornstarch bag. Top fried tofu with chill flakes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbs of sesame oil in a large pan. Add the stir fry vegetable mix and kale. Cook on high heat until the vegetables turn bright and kale starts to wilt. Stir through soy sauce.
- Serve with salt & pepper tofu. Top with chilli flakes and sesame seeds.
