Firecracker tofu
Asian 20 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
- If the tofu is a bit soft, wrap it in a dishcloth and press for at least 30 minutes. Slice it into 2cm cubes and combine with the soya sauce. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the seeds from the chilli. Peel and crush the garlic.
- In a small pot, combine the sugar, Sriracha and butter and place over a medium heat, stirring to dissolve. Once dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and add in the Worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic, rice vinegar, salt, chilli flakes and sliced red chilli.
- Remove the tofu from the soya sauce and toss with the corn flour. Heat the oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tofu in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Place the fried tofu in a large bowl and toss with the Sriracha mixture until fully coated and place on the lined baking tray. Place in the oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway
- Finely slice the spring onions. Serve the tofu with the spring onion, sesame seeds and lime.
