What is tofu?

Tofu is the milk of soya beans. Rich in protein and virtually tasteless, the silky textured tofu works exceptionally well with tasty sauces.

Tofu is like a sponge, it will absorb the flavors in which the tofu is cooked in. In some countries, they refer to tofu as the ‘meat of the fields’

First, you crisp tofu cubes in some hot coconut oil. Then you add a sauce that is flavoured with tamari sauce, ginger, sriracha, maple syrup, garlic, sesame oil and vinegar.

The sauce is simple to make, all you do is whisk everything together and then add to the wok with the crispy tofu. Heat the sauce while coating the tofu until it starts to thicken. This takes about 2 minutes. Done!
