Ingredient

Food ration :

2 portions

Cooking time :

30 mins

1 block

soft tofu, cut into 8 big cube

4-5 tbsp

vegetable cooking oil (or enough for shallow fry)

2-3 tbsp

tamarind paste (rice wine vinegar can be used if you can’t find tamarind paste)

2 tbsp

fishsauce (or soysauce for vegetarian option)

1 splash

finely chopped bell pepper (I use all 3 colours, red, yellow and green)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cut up tofu into big cube, mix flour and breadcrumbs into a mixing bowl, coated tofu in seasoning flour and breadcrumbs. Leave it aside.

* Step 2

Making sticky sweet tamarind sauce- add tamarind paste, palm sugar and fishsauce in a small medium heat saucepan. Keep stirring until everything dissolve and combine. If sauce too thick you can add a splash of water.

* Step 3

Prepping for garnish- finely sliced 3 different colours of bell pepper and julienned spring onions and soak in cold water for 10 min.

* Step 4

Frying tofu - on a medium heat pan or saucepan, add vegetable cooking oil and then tofu. Fry one side until golden crisps then turn over. Once all sides turn golden and crispy take them on onto the kitchen towel.
