Tofu soaks up flavour brilliantly. So why not have it soak up a big thick sweet chilli sauce with a good kick of heat. You can serve alongside rice or stir noodles into the sauce once it’s cooked.
Ingredients
Serves 1
1/2 block tofu
1/2 red pepper
1/2 red onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 – 1 red chilli
2 tbsp total ketchup and chilli sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup water
noodles to serve (or rice)
Instructions
- Slice the pepper and onion and fry gently in oil until softened.
- Add the garlic and chilli for a few minutes.
- Add the water tomato ketchup, chilli sauce, sugar, soy sauce and tofu. Top up with extra water to make a runny sauce that will thicken in the pan.
- Cook for a good 10 minutes so that the tofu sucks up all the sauce.
- If using noodles add to the pan until cooked, or serve with rice.
Key Tip
Allow enough time for the tofu to absorbs the sauce and for the sauce to thicken.
