Shop these in one order
Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 2cm cubes.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chilli garlic sauce, dark soy sauce, and 50ml of water. Set aside.
- Step 3
Toss the tofu cubes with 5g of cornflour until lightly coated.
- Step 4
Heat 15ml of vegetable oil in a large wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Step 5
Add the remaining 15ml of oil to the wok. Add the chopped red onion, minced ginger, and crushed garlic. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Step 6
Add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
- Step 7
Return the crispy tofu to the wok. Give the reserved sauce mixture a quick whisk and pour it over the tofu and vegetables.
- Step 8
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken quickly due to the cornflour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats everything glossy.
- Step 9
Serve immediately over the cooked brown rice.
