Tofu

  • Cut the tofu into small pieces, place in a bowl with the marinade ingredients and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes but preferably a few hours or overnight in the fridge.
  • After marinating, place the tofu pieces into a frying pan and fry gently for about 10 minutes until heated through and starting to crisp on the outside.

Dressing

Spiralised Veggies

  • Spiralise the carrot and courgette. Place in a bowl with the red cabbage and combine.
