Method
- Set a heavy pan on the tofu, wrapped in a clean tea towel, and press it for 10 minutes. Cut into 2 cm cubes.
- Finely grate the peeled ginger and thinly slice the spring onion. Mix the tamari, maple syrup, ginger and 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl.
- Coat the tofu cubes lightly in the cornflour and a pinch of salt.
- Warm the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the tofu for 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until golden on most sides.
- Pour in the tamari mixture and let it bubble for 1 minute, turning the tofu until the sauce is thick, sticky and coating every piece.
- Tip onto a plate, scatter over the sesame seeds and spring onion and serve with cocktail sticks.
Tip Serve them over rice with steamed greens to turn the bites into a proper meal.
