Method

How to Make It

01
Press and cube the tofu

Press tofu wrapped in towels under heavy pan 20 minutes to remove moisture. Cube into 2cm pieces. This step determines whether tofu crisps or steams.

02
Bake until crispy

Toss cubed tofu with tamari, oil, cornstarch. Bake 200°C for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and firm on all sides.

03
Make sesame dressing

Whisk sesame oil, rice vinegar, tamari, ginger, garlic, and honey. The balance is critical: salty-sour-sweet in equal parts.

04
Toss the slaw

Combine all vegetables and dress 10 minutes before serving. Top with warm tofu, sesame seeds, and extra spring onion.
