Ingredients
Preparation method
Preparing the ingredients
Press the block of tofu well with paper towels to absorb excess water, then cut it into equal cubes of about 2 cm. Place the cubes in a bowl and dust them with cornstarch, tossing gently until they are coated in a thin, even layer.
Finely zest half of the lemon and squeeze the juice (about 2 tablespoons). Finely mince the garlic and fresh ginger, and thinly slice the spring onions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, soy sauce, brown cane sugar, and sesame oil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Chef's tip
For an extra crispy texture, do not skip pressing the tofu: the more moisture you remove before dusting with cornstarch, the crispier the crust will be when frying.
Add the tofu cubes to the sauce only at the end and toss briefly over high heat — this way the tofu will retain its crispy texture and absorb the citrus flavours perfectly.
