Ingredients
For the crispy tofu
- 360g/12½oz firm tofu, drained, patted dry and diced into even cubes
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 5 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely diced
- sprinkle sesame seeds, to garnish
For the dressing
Method
To make the tofu, toss the tofu in a bowl with the cornflour until completely coated. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium–high heat then add the tofu and fry on each side for around 4 minutes until crispy.
To make the dressing, mix all of the ingredients in a bowl then add to the pan with the cripsy tofu. Continue to fry over a medium heat for a few minutes to cook the garlic. Add the radish and spring onion to the pan for the last minute of cooking.
Layer on the tofu on top of the cooked rice in two bowls, making sure to add all of that delicious dressing. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
