HONEY, SOY AND GINGER BRAISED TOFU

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Lightly press the tofu block between your hands over the sink to get rid of as much water as possible, then wrap in kitchen paper and leave to one side.

Step 2

Place the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, pear, spring onion whites, sesame oil, gochujang and 1 tablespoon of water into a bowl and whisk to mix. Remove the tofu from the kitchen paper and cut into 1cm-thick slices.

Step 3

Coat the bottom of a large non-stick frying pan with the rapeseed oil and line a plate with a couple of sheets of kitchen paper. Heat the oil until it reaches smoking point and fry the tofu slices for 8 minutes until golden on both sides. Remove the tofu to the plate, allowing the paper to absorb some of the excess oil.

Step 4

Remove all but a tablespoon of oil from the pan. Add the soy and honey sauce and stir for a minute, then put the tofu back into the pan and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce reduces and becomes glossy and thick.

Step 5

To serve, place the tofu in a serving dish, pour the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and remaining spring onion greens.
