Pokyny

To make the cucumber salad, combine the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.

Cut the tofu into small squares, approximately 2 cm or 3/4”.

Dust each piece in the corn flour.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, then cook the tofu for 6-8 minutes (approximately 1-2 minutes per side) until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic, tamari or soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Cook, stirring for 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Combine the corn flour and water in a small bowl. Add to the pan 1 tablespoon at a time to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

Return the tofu to the pan. Toss to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tbsp of water at a time to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.

Divide the rice and cucumber salad between four bowls. Top with the tofu and sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onions.
