Honey-sesame baked tofu and green beans
Background
This honey-sesame baked tofu and green beans is perfect for vegans, vegetarians and the health-conscious. It’s ideal for lunch or light supper, served with brown rice, quinoa or noodles - alternatively serve it as a side dish or as a cold salad at a picnic/party.
Ingredients
- 300g extra-firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp tamari soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- ½ tsp chilli flakes or 1 chilli pepper chopped
- 200g trimmed green beans
- To serve: Sesame seeds and one spring onion (sliced)
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and dry it with paper towels. Cut the tofu into cubes or strips. Put them in a shallow dish.
- Whisk the soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, sesame oil & seeds together in a large bowl. Add the chilli flakes or chopped fresh chilli. Combine.
- Drizzle the tofu with the mixture.
- Turn the oven on, set to 190°C.
- Lightly oil a non-stick baking tray. Place the marinated tofu on the baking tray. Bake until golden-brown on the bottom, for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile add the beans to the marinade.
- Flip the tofu and the scatter the green beans between the tofu pieces. Season with salt and pepper and pour over any remaining marinade.
- Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the tofu is golden-brown on each side - so you’ll need to turn over the pieces once or twice more.
- Sprinkle with some sesame seeds and sliced spring onion and serve.
