Background

I make these Miso fried tofu bites regularly because they are easy, healthy, yummy and very versatile – they can be kept in the fridge until I need them. You can eat them as snacks during the day or serve them as nibbles with a glass of wine; alternatively add them to salads, stews & soups.

Ingredients

200g firm tofu
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp miso paste
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
Couple of pinches of palm sugar (or cane sugar)
1 tsp sesame seeds
¼ tsp turmeric or ginger powder

Instructions

Mix the soy, miso, sesame oil, vinegar and sugar into a smooth paste. Add the turmeric and sesame seeds.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes then pour over the marinade. Marinate for minimum 30 minutes.
Heat some ground nut oil in a wok or frying pan. Fry the tofu cube for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden.
Serve with soy sauce or chilli sauce.
