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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
