Instructions

Step 1

Cut the tofu into strips as seen in the video. Do not pat the tofu dry, wetter the better so the nori can stick to it!

Step 2

Use scissors to cut 1-2cm wide strips of nori. The perfect length is half of a nori sheet. Wrap around the centre of the tofu, if it doesn’t stick in place dab some water to help it stick.

Step 3

Add the cornflour over a wide bowl or plate then coat the tofu pieces.

Step 4

Bring a large pan to medium heat with the olive oil then fry the tofu on each side for a few minutes until crispy, then remove from the pan.

Step 5

Turn the pan to medium/low heat then add all the sauce ingredients and let reduce for 1 - 2 minutes. Once it begins to thicken add your tofu back in and toss until the tofu is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Top off with the sesame and chives and enjoy!!
