Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 Courgettes
1 Carrot
150 g Firm tofu
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
For the glaze:
4 tbsp Hoisin sauce
2 tbsp Lime juice
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Ginger paste
2 Garlic cloves (grated)
Recipe:
- In a flat container, add all the ingredients for the glaze and mix until smooth. Pour two tablespoons of the glaze into a mixing bowl and cut the tofu into 2 cm thick slices. Add the tofu to the glaze and set aside to marinade.
- Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to spiralise the courgettes and carrot directly into the mixing bowl with the two tablespoons of glaze mixture.
- Place a frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the glaze and tofu slices. Simmer until the glaze has reduced and thickened into a syrup, about 5-8 minutes. Turn the tofu slices a few times into the glaze to evenly coat.
- Divide the slaw between two plates and top each with the tofu slices. Garnish with sesame seeds.
