Salt and Pepper Tofu with Sweet Chilli Sauce Recipe- IGA Tasmania

Ingredients

• 450g firm silken tofu
• ¾ cup corn flour
• ¼ cup cornmeal
• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2 handfuls of green beans
• ¼ cup water
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 2 rice wine vinegar
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp of corn starch
• ½ tsp finely chopped chilli (Feel free to use more or less depending on taste or omit if your kids don’t like chilli)
• In the meantime, mix the corn flour, cornmeal and salt and pepper together in a bowl for the coating.
• You can also use this time to make the sauce. Whisk all sauce ingredients in a small pot and cook over medium to high heat for 5 minutes or until thickened.
• When the tofu has finished pressing, cut into cubes, and coat well with the coating mix.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the tofu and cook until crispy on all sides. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Blanch green beans and add a squeeze of lemon.
• Serve the tofu with dipping sauce and a side of green beans and enjoy!
