Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 400 g smoked tofu
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Oil for frying, optional
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup
  • Chili sauce or other hot sauce of your choice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 30 ml water

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Dry the tofu, tear it into pieces, and toss it with salt and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Either fry it in oil until crispy or bake it in a hot oven at 180°C (convection oven) for about 20 minutes. For the sauce, combine the remaining ingredients and add them to a hot pan to thicken. Briefly stir in the crispy tofu. Tip: If you like, you can serve the dish simply over rice or enjoy it as is and top with sesame seeds and spring onions, if desired.
