Ingredients
- 280g extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp tamari
- ½ tbsp cornflour
Method
- STEP 1
Slice the tofu into 2cm slabs and pat dry with kitchen paper. Lay flat on a lined baking tray, then put another sheet of baking paper over the top. Put another baking tray on top, then something heavy – a pan or some tins will work well. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
- STEP 2
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking tray. Pat the tofu dry again then cut each slab into three strips then each strip in half. You should have about 20 chunks. Put in a bowl with the oil and tamari, toss well to coat, then sprinkle in the cornflour and give the bowl a good shake so everything is well coated. Season well.
- STEP 3
Use tongs to put the tofu on the baking tray in an even layer. Bake for 30 mins, turning halfway, until crisp and golden all over.
