Method
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and place the sliced tofu in one layer. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown, then turn over and cook for another 4–5 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining tofu if cooking in batches.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour this over the fried tofu and leave to slightly braise for 2–3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tofu if cooking in batches.
