Quick tofu and quinoa wok with creamy curry tahini

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
This recipe combines the speed of wok technique with the richness of tahini and curry. While the previous recipe treated the sauce separately, here all flavours come together in the heat of the stir-fry. The acidity of the lime is essential to cut through the richness of the tahini and coconut, making the dish refreshing. An ideal choice if you want to put complex flavours on the table in little time.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Wok pan
  • Small saucepan (quinoa)
  • Tofu press
  • Grater

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the quinoa according to the previous recipes (wash, cook, rest).

Tip: You can even cook the quinoa the day before; it keeps well in the fridge.
2 ✓

Dice the tofu and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce and juice of half a lime.

Tip: The salt in soy sauce may draw out some water from the tofu, so pat dry before frying if very wet.
3 ✓

Heat oil in the wok and fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides, then remove.

Tip: Space is important: do not overcrowd the wok so the tofu fries rather than steams.
4 ✓

In the remaining oil, sauté the finely chopped onion, then add the grated garlic and ginger.

Tip: Aromatic bases (alliums) provide the 'frame' of the dish.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with the curry and turmeric, fry briefly, then squeeze over the other half of the lime.

Tip: The lime juice deglazes the tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
6 ✓

Mix the tahini with a little water to make it liquid, and pour into the wok. Toss the tofu back in and warm through.

Tip: Do not boil the tahini for long as it may split.
7 ✓

Serve on a bed of quinoa, garnished with black sesame and coriander.

Tip: Eat immediately while the tofu crust is crispy.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the tahini bitter?
Tahini quality varies. If it's very bitter, the sesame seeds are likely older or over-toasted. A little honey or maple syrup can help counterbalance it.
