If you’ve never tried tofu, this recipe is a great place to start. As well as providing many key micronutrients, tofu is also high in protein and low in energy density making it a great replacement for meat. Some may say that tofu can be quite bland, however in this recipe, the fried tofu picks up the flavours from the spicy sauce and makes a tasty main meal. It can be served on its own or with a small portion of rice and it will still remain low energy dense.

Instructions
Step 1
Chop a block of firm tofu into small cubes and pour over a tablespoon of soy sauce. Leave for 5 minutes to allow the soy sauce to be fully absorbed by the tofu. Mix the cornflour, garlic powder and a sprinkle of black pepper in a bowl. Using a set of tongues, dab the tofu cubes into this mixture ensuring they are all evenly coated. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the flour-coated tofu. Keep turning the tofu so that all sides are browned then remove from the pan. Thinly chop the garlic and chilli and slice the spring onions and peppers lengthways. Add half a tablespoon of oil to the pan and fry the garlic, chilli and onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix together a tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of passata and half a teaspoon of brown sugar then add this to the pan with the red and yellow peppers and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes until the peppers become tender, then stir in the tofu. Cook for a further 5 minutes then serve. Suggested servings: Two.
