Thai 20 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Juice the lime. Remove the tough outer layer of the lemongrass and slice the tender white core. Combine with 2 tbsp sunflower oil, 1 tbsp of soya sauce, 2 tsp fish sauce and 1 tsp muscovado sugar to create the dressing. Set aside.
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and slice into 2cm-thick cubes. Place in a bowl and pour 3 tbsp of soya sauce over to coat completely.
- Heat a large frying pan with enough oil.
- Toss the tofu cubes in the rice flour then fry in the hot oil, in batches, until evenly golden. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
- Trim the tough stems of the mushrooms and halve the large mushrooms.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a high heat. Once hot, add in the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Roughly chop the fresh coriander, mint and basil. Finely slice the spring onion. Lightly toast the sesame seeds.
- When ready to serve, arrange the mushrooms on a platter and top with the herbs, spring onion and toasted sesame seeds. Finish with a drizzle of the dressing.
