Garlic tofu and cauliflower wok

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
The soul of wok dishes is 'Wok Hei', or the breath of the wok. This is the slightly smoky flavour created at high temperatures, which you can mimic at home if you let the pan get truly hot. The crunch of the cauliflower and carrots, the softness of the tofu and the spicy garlic sauce result in a dynamic, quick supper.

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Cube the tofu, pat dry, and fry in hot rapeseed oil in the wok until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Tip: If the tofu is wet, the oil will spit and it won't brown properly.
2 ✓

Break the cauliflower into very small florets and cut the carrot into matchsticks.

Tip: Because of the small size, they cook through quickly but remain crunchy.
3 ✓

Reheat the wok, and stir-fry the cauliflower and carrots in a little oil for 3-4 minutes, tossing continuously.

Tip: Do not let it sit; it needs constant movement.
4 ✓

Add the sesame oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger and chilli. Fry for half a minute.

Tip: Add the aromatics only at the end so they don't burn from the high heat.
5 ✓

Pour over the soy sauce, return the tofu to the pan, and toss until the liquid evaporates. Serve with sesame seeds and coriander.

Tip: The soy sauce caramelises on the hot surface, creating the flavour.
