Crispy sesame tofu

Ingredients

serves 2
  • 280g extra firm tofu, cubed
  • ½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Cooking mode
  1. Place the tofu in a shallow dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients except the cornflour and sesame seeds. Pour over the tofu, cover and transfer to the fridge for 2–12 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare a large baking tray. Drain off any excess marinade, then toss the tofu with the cornflour until lightly coated. Add to the baking tray and bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer for 14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  4. Serve topped with toasted sesame seeds, alongside stir-fried veggies, rice, noodles, salad or your favourite sauce.
