Ingredients
280g pack The Tofoo Co Crispy Original Bites
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Thai sticky rice, to serve
Orange & Sichuan pepper sauce
250g light brown soft sugar
2 Cooks’ Ingredients Seville Oranges (scrubbed), zest of 1, juice of all (to make 100ml)
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
50ml light soy sauce
1 tbsp sriracha
20g ginger, peeled and grated
2 clove/s large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns, roughly crushed
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Put the tofu bites on a baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put the sugar and orange juice in a saucepan and gently heat until the sugar dissolves and turns an amber caramel (6-8 minutes). Increase the heat and bubble for a further 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly and become syrupy.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook for a final 5 minutes over a low heat. Toss through the crispy tofu and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve with sticky rice and steamed pak choi, if liked.
