Ohjeet

Bake tofu

Pat dry the tofu block with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Slice into medium size cubes.

Put tofu cubes in a bowl. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Gently toss.

Spread on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 12-13 minutes at 200°C (400°F).

Mince lemongrass

Chop off the leaves of lemongrass and also remove all the woody outer layers. Roughly chop the inner soft part.

Put the chopped lemongrass and garlic cloves in a grinder/ food processor and mince.

Stir fry

Heat oil in a pan. Add sliced onion and ground lemongrass. Saute for 2-3 minutes.

Add chopped chili pepper, tofu, sugar, pepper, salt, and soy sauce. Gently mix everything. If the lemongrass is sticking to the pan, add a few tablespoons of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then switch off the stove.

Add fresh lime juice and cilantro/ spring onion greens. Enjoy with rice or noodles.
