Seared sweet chilli tofu
This seared sweet chilli recipe is an absolute delight. With the soft texture of the tofu, the delicious bite of the sweet chilli sauce and the sear on the outside of the tofu this made for a really delicious bite of food.
A lot of people complain that they find tofu so boring and bland. I have also heard people say that they really don’t know how to cook tofu. The secret is in marinating the tofu. Tofu on its own can be quite bland but it takes on any flavours that it’s marinated it exceptionally well. So when you are cooking tofu the trick is to remember to pack it with flavour first.
You can use many flavours to cook with tofu such as soy sauce, ginger and garlic to name a few. Sweet chilli sauce also works beautifully with the tofu because the tofu really takes on the flavour of the sweet chilli sauce.
There are many ways to serve this seared sweet chilli tofu but I chose to use in a poke bowl with sushi rice and vegetables (recipe will be posted soon) and it was a bowl full of nutritious yumminess.

I hope that you enjoy this seared sweet chilli tofu as much as I did, until next time, Leanne x

Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it
very bothersome to inform the truth however I will definitely come back again.
