• 3 plain tofu cubes^ (approx 80g each)

^ check ingredients of tofu – should only contains soy bean extract, water & caking agent calcium sulphate 516.

Method

Heat up some cooking oil in a frying pan, add ginger, pan fry tofu cubes on all sides until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side; transfer onto a kitchen paper towel to drain off excess oil; leave the ginger slices in the frying pan.

To make the salsa – in the same frying pan with a little cooking oil, add chili, tomato, soy sauce, sesame oil, stir fry briefly; add tomato sauce; stir and cook for 1-2 minutes; remove the ginger slices; remove the salsa from heat, add 1/2 of the coriander; toss well.

Place the tofu cubes on a serving plate, place the salsa on top; garnish with the other 1/2 of the coriander. Serve warm.
