Sticky Miso Tofu 😍 Crispy on the inside, pillowy and firm on the inside and coated in a sticky miso sauce! Easy to make yet super delicious and perfect when paired with rice and some veg on the side 🍚🍃 Ingredients: 1 block firm tofu (400g) 1/4 cup cornstarch/cornflour 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp ground white pepper Sauce: 3 cloves garlic, finely minced 2 tbsp white miso paste (whisked in with 2 tbsp hot water to thin out) 1.5 packed tbsp brown sugar 1.5 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp rice vinegar 1/2 cup water 2 tsp cornstarch/cornflour 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp chilli oil Garnish: Toasted sesame seeds Green onion Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced or 200°C conventional. Open your packet of tofu and drain out the excess liquid. Using clean hands, break chunks off the tofu to create bite sized pieces. Add into a bowl along with the cornstarch, salt and pepper and toss well to coat. 2. Spread the tofu out onto a lined baking tray, ensuring each piece does not touch or overlap. Spray generously with any neutral oil and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Alternately you can also air-fry in batches. 3. In the meantime, fry the garlic in a splash of oil over medium heat. Add in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and miso. 4. Mix the water and cornstarch together then pour it into the pan. Allow mixture to bubble, stirring frequently until thickened. Turn off the heat and stir through the sesame oil and chilli oil. 5. Add in the baked tofu and stir well to coat in the sauce. 6. Transfer onto a plate and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy immediately! *Note: I would not recommend this as a dish to eat later/reheat. You definitely can, but you will lose the crispy coating on the outside. If you’re making this ahead of time just keep this in mind. In short, still delicious but you’ll lose the texture! #vegan #plantbased #easyrecipe #recipeidea #tofu #tofurecipe #miso #sesame #asmrfood
