Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • SAUCE
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons PC Black Label Sambal Matah
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • GARNISH
  • black & white sesame seeds, steamed baby bok choy and basmati rice
Instructions
  1. Prepare tofu by draining all liquid from the block. I wrap it in a clean dish towel and place a cast iron skillet and heavy jars or cans on top of it. Leave it to drain for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  2. Cut tofu into bite size chunks.
  3. Place cornstarch into a large plastic zip bag, drop in tofu, seal and shake until all the pieces are coated.
  4. Prepare sauce by whisking the balance of all ingredients in a small bowl.
  5. Heat a large cast iron skillet with two tablespoons of olive oil. Fry tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Pour sauce over tofu and cook until sticky and caramelized. Garnish with sesame seeds, bok choy and serve hot with steamed rice.
