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
