Ingredients
-
- Tofu: 350 g
- Starch: 2 tbsp
- Soy sauce: 2 tbsp.
- Dark sweet soy sauce or maple syrup: 1.5 tbsp.
- Rice vinegar or light wine vinegar: 1 tsp.
- Hot chili sauce: 2 tsp.
- Water: 50 ml
- Garlic cloves: 3 pieces
- Ginger: 1 piece
- Spring onion: 1 piece
- Sesame seeds: 1 tsp
Preparation
Step 1
Cut the tofu in half, squeeze with a kitchen towel and pluck into bite-sized pieces. Mix 1 tablespoon of starch with the tofu. Place on a baking tray and bake at 190C for about 20-30 minutes. It should already be a little crispy.
Step 2
For the sauce: mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp starch. Chop garlic and ginger. Cut the spring onion into slices. Fry garlic, ginger and spring onion with oil. Add the sauce and sauté until it becomes a thick sauce. Now add the water. Let it simmer a little more. It should not be too liquid, so that it adheres nicely to the tofu.
Step 3
Now add the tofu and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Mix well and serve with rice. Steamed carrots go perfectly with this.
