Crispy Tofu Bites
The easiest trick to make tofu more exciting and add texture is to coat it in a little cornflour and then pan fry to give it a crispy bite. This is one of my go-to’s when I want to add some extra protein to my lunches, it’s perfect throwing on as a topping to some noodles, salads or just a snack.
You can totally serve this with any of your favourite dips instead of soy sauce. Switch it up with sweet chilli, sriracha, your kitchen cupboard is your oyster! Alternatively, see the next recipe for sauce inspiration!
