  • firm tofu290g g
  • maple syrup2 tbsp tbsp
  • soy sauce2 tbsp tbsp
  • rice vinegar1 tbsp tbsp
  • sesame oil1 tsp tsp
  • garlic cloves2

    grated

  • vegetable oil2 tbsp tbsp
  • coriander leaves

    (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by thoroughly patting the tofu dry with kitchen paper. Wrap the tofu block in a clean tea towel, then put on a large plate with a lip. Put something heavy such as a frying pan on top, then weigh it down with something else that is heavy, like another pan or some tins. Leave for 15 mins.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, mix all the other ingredients together, except the vegetable oil, in a medium bowl. Once the tofu has been pressed, slice it into 2cm cubes. Toss the tofu in the marinade, then cover and leave for 30 mins in the fridge.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Carefully lift the tofu into the oil, shaking off any excess marinade but reserve this for later.

  4. 4

    Cook for 3-4 mins on each side, until golden and a little charred. Pour in the remaining marinade, bubble on high for 30 seconds, then transfer to a serving plate and garnish with coriander leaves and sesame seeds, if you like.
