Recipe: Marinated Pan-Fried Chilli Tofu 

24 June, 2021 by Michaela Bisset 1 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/vegetarian-recipe-marinated-pan-fried-chilli-tofu-sincerely-aline/

“This vegetarian chilli tofu recipe is the most simple of dishes to make; but it’s also big in flavour and a true crowd-pleaser. The firm tofu is marinated in a spicy chilli bean sauce then pan-fried until lightly crisped on the outside.” – Aline from ‘Sincerely Aline’

Generously serves 2, or 4 as part of more dishes

Marinated Pan-fried Chilli Tofu Recipe

Ingredients

  • 340g firm tofu (sliced into large cubes)
  • 2 heaped tbsp dou ban jiang (chilli bean sauce)
  • 2 tsp ginger (finely sliced)
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 
  • 1 tsp sesame oil 
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • Handful fresh coriander (roughly chopped)
  • Handful spring onions (roughly chopped, use up until an inch off the root)
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch (or enough to lightly coat each tofu piece) 
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tbsp oil for cooking (use a neutral oil like sunflower)

Vegetarian recipe - Marinated Panfried Chilli Tofu by Sincerely Aline

Method

  1. Slice the tofu into large chunks and put in a container. Combine all the ingredients together (except cumin, coriander, spring onions, cornstarch, cooking oil).
  2. Pour over the tofu. Put the lid on tight and carefully flip around to make sure the marinade has coated all the tofu. Put in the fridge for 1 hour.
  3. Cooking the tofu: Start by lightly coating each piece in cornstarch. 
  4. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan on a medium heat, when hot (but not bubbling) spread out the tofu chunks (any remaining marinade liquid, leave to one side). Sprinkle with cumin. Fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned, carefully turn each piece around, sprinkle with more cumin. Add some of the remaining liquid from the marinade. Fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated slightly.
  5. Serve topped with the fresh coriander and spring onion
