Crispy sesame tofu fingers
Serves 4 Starters and mains
Ingredients
- 200g firm tofu
- 2tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 10g ginger, finely grated
- 1 egg white, lightly whisked
- 10g panko breadcrumbs
- 5g black sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
Method
Drain tofu and pat dry with paper. Squeeze as much liquid as possible without breaking. Slice into four fingers and marinate in tamari and ginger for 30 minutes or overnight if possible.
Preheat oven to 240C/460F/ Gas 9. Remove tofu from the marinade and brush off any clumps of ginger. Place between two pieces of kitchen paper and apply some gentle pressure to squeeze out any excess liquid.
Combine the breadcrumbs, seeds, chilli powder, salt and pepper. Dip the tofu into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly.
Place on a baking tray lined with parchment and bake for 5 minutes, turning halfway through, until nicely browned and crispy.
