Grilled tofu with curry tahini sauce

The secret to tofu is water: if it's full of water, it becomes tasteless and soggy. If you press it and sear it, you get a crisp crust with a creamy centre that soaks up the sauce. The pairing of tahini (sesame paste) and curry creates an umami bomb that will convince even meat lovers.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Kitchen paper and a weight (for pressing)
  • Non-stick frying pan

Allergen Information

⚠️ Sesame
⚠️ Soya

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper, place a heavy object (e.g., a tin of beans) on top, and let it stand for 20 minutes.

Tip: Pressing out the water makes room for flavours and allows for a crispy crust [dehydration].
2 ✓

Cube the tofu, toss in the oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tsp of curry powder.

Tip: You 'massage' the spices in before frying so they bake onto the tofu.
3 ✓

Fry the tofu in a hot frying pan until golden brown on all sides.

Tip: Be patient; do not move it until it releases from the pan bottom on its own.
4 ✓

For the sauce, simmer the tahini, coconut milk, remaining curry powder, crushed garlic, and lime juice together. Reduce until thickened.

Tip: Tahini acts as a natural thickener.
5 ✓

Serve the fried tofu topped with the sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tip: The contrast between the crispy tofu and the creamy sauce is key.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the tofu sticking?
Because the surface is wet or the oil isn't hot enough. Dry it thoroughly before frying!
