Honey Soy Tofu

Tofu in itself is a boring and bland thing. However is soaks up flavour magnificantly.  This dish is not a meal in itself but is a good accompaniment or perhaps useful for open sandwiches or a salad ingredient.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pack tofu firm - sliced into strips

• 2 tablespoons rice bran oil

• 4 tablespoons liquid honey

• 2 tablespoons ginger puree

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

• 4 tablespoons warm water

• 1 length spring onions

• black and white sesame seeds for garnish

METHOD

1. heat a large non-stick fry pan and coat with oil

2. cook the tofu strips on high heat for around 5 minutes each side - they should firm up a little and darken slightly

3. mix the maranade of honey, ginger, soy sauce and water and pour over the tofu coating everything evenly

4. cook for around 3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown - do not let them burn or run out of liquid

5. serve garnished with spring onions, sesame seeds and a couple of squiggles of liquid honey
