Sweet Chilli Tofu Bites

Firm tofu cubes dusted in cornflour turn properly crunchy, then get tossed in sweet chilli sauce. Good as a main with rice or picked at as a snack. Needs 15 minutes pressing time.

Ingredients

  • 600 gram firm tofu
  • 3 tablespoon cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 piece lime
  • 2 piece spring onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1Wrap the tofu in paper towel, sit a plate on top and press for 15 minutes.
  2. 2Cut the pressed tofu into 3 cm cubes.
  3. 3Toss the cubes with the oil, then the cornflour and salt, until evenly coated.
  4. 4Spread half the cubes in the basket with gaps between them. A 5-6L basket takes about 300 g at a time, so cook two batches.
  5. 5Cook at 200°C for 9 minutes, shaking the basket firmly every 3 minutes.
  6. 6Repeat with the second batch, then tip all the tofu into a bowl.
  7. 7Toss the hot tofu with sweet chilli sauce, a squeeze of lime and sliced spring onion.
