Spiced sweet potato and tofu salad

This spiced sweet potato and tofu salad is an ideal meat-free yet filling vegan meal on weekends. You can make it with leftover baked/grilled vegetables too – in which case just brush the leftover veggies with the glaze, then grill for a few minutes to caramelise and to warm through.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 handfuls of rocket leaves
  • 3 spring onions
  • 100 g tofu
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce Kikkoman
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ tsp minced ginger

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Mix the glaze in a bowl.
