Meat free Monday? Poke bowls are all the rage and for good reason. Not only are they delicious but they are dense in nutrients. To pack some serious flavour into your bowl, try our Honey & soy tofu recipe.

Ingredients

300g package firm tofu

1T cornflour

2T olive oil

2t sesame seeds

1/2c soy sauce

1T sesame oil

1/4c ME honey

1T lemon juice

1t garlic, minced

Method

1. Place the tofu between a few paper towels and rest a plate on top for 30 minutes to soak up excess water.

2. Mix together 1/4c of the soy sauce and the sesame oil and pour over the tofu in a shallow dish. Allow to marinate in the fridge for atleast 30 minutes. 

3. Once marinated, cut into 16 pieces. Place into a ziplock bag with the cornstarch and gently shake to coat. 

4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu around the pan and fry for 5 minutes until it forms a crust. Turn over and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and sit on a paper towel to soak up excess oil.

5. Add the remaining soy sauce, honey, lemon juice and garlic to the pan over medium heat and stir constantly until it has reduced to a thickened sauce. 

6. Pour the sauce over the tofu and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
