Servings

Before you cook, check the ingredient list against your household's allergens. In the app, the allergens on your profile keep a recipe out of the meal plan by themselves.

Preparation

Put the rice on to cook, going by the time on the packet.
Cook the green beans in a steamer; they take about 7 minutes.
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with kitchen paper, cut it into cubes and toss it with the potato flour until each cube is lightly dusted.
In a tall jug, blend the garlic, ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, passata and maple syrup into a smooth sauce.
Fry the tofu in hot extra virgin olive oil for 4–5 minutes, until browned on every side.
Pour the sauce over the tofu and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the cubes. Season with sriracha to taste.
Arrange the tofu and sauce on plates next to the rice and green beans, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve straight away. You can use strips of chicken instead of the tofu.

Why keep it in your rotation

Potato flour lets you brown the tofu in an ordinary frying pan, without deep-frying. The sauce thickens in the pan in 2 minutes and coats the cubes evenly.

The sriracha goes in at the end, to taste, so you can set the heat to your liking.
