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 β- Step 1
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1.5cm cubes.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chilli flakes. Add 2-3 tbsp of water to reach a smooth, pourable sauce consistency. Set aside.
- Step 3
Chop the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
- Step 5
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the broccoli florets and bell pepper and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Step 6
Add the snap peas and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Step 7
Return the fried tofu to the pan. Pour the peanut sauce over the tofu and vegetables.
- Step 8
Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Step 9
Stir in the sesame oil.
- Step 10
Serve the stir-fry immediately, garnished with fresh coriander leaves and sesame seeds if using.
