This tofu with creamy courgetti is ideal for those who are on a low-carb, gluten-free or vegan diet. Itβs actually quite filling and rather delicious too- perfect for lunch or supper!
Ingredients
- 1 block hard tofu (approx. 250g)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- For the courgetti:
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 garlic, minced
- Β½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 large courgette
- 1 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice wine
- Juice of Β½ lime
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Freshly ground pepper
- For the cream:
- 1 Tbsp vegan mayo
- 1 tsp white miso paste
- 1 tsp Kikkoman soy sauce
- Drop of lime juice
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, then fry the tofu on all sides until golden. Add the soy sauce, sesame seeds and oil, then cook for a minute or so, until each piece is well coated. Transfer them to a plate.
- Meanwhile, mix the cream and set aside. Cut the courgette into very thin, long slices using a spiralizer or julienne peeler.
- Wipe out the wok or pan, then heat the oil, add the garlic and chilli (if used) and stir for a few seconds. Add the courgette, stir-fry for a minute, then add the Kikkoman and rice wine, sesame seeds, ground pepper and stir for another minute or so.
- When soft but still has a bite, mix in the cream, and combine. Turn off the heat.
- Serve the creamy courgetti with the tofu.
