I know I know, new year new food and all that? This isn't that healthy cos it's deep fried but oh my, it's delicious and the perfect antidote to all the rich Christmas food. Well it is for us anyway!
For 4 portions you need
1 pack firm tofu
2-3 tbsp cornflour
60ml light soya sauce
60ml mirin
2cm piece of ginger, finely grated
oil for deep frying
Cut the tofu into bite sized cubes and toss to coat in the cornflour. As it cooks, this gives a delicious light crispy coating to the tofu.
Heat the oil until hot and then fry the coated tofu in batches until crispy and light brown.
Place the soya sauce, mirin and ginger in a bowl. Drain the cooked tofu straight into the bowl and allow it to cool slightly and soak up the flavour. Serve with wilted garlic greens and plain rice for a nutritious meal you can feel smug about all day.
