Try it with Love Beets
Love Beets Beetroot Rainbow Bowls with Sesame-Crusted Tofu
PREP TIME: 20 // COOK TIME: 4
SERVINGS: 2
What to do
- To make the dressing, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, sugar and ginger until combined and set aside.
- To prepare the fresh bowl elements, quarter the tomatoes and beetroot, peel and slice the carrot into matchsticks, thinly slice the red onion and chilli and roughly chop the herbs. Use a spiraliser to create courgette noodles. Arrange each ingredient in a separate compartment of two serving bowls, leaving a space for the tofu.
- Drain the tofu, slice into 0.5cm pieces and press between two sheets of kitchen towel to remove excess liquid.
- Combine the sesame seeds and cornflour in a bowl with a large pinch of salt. Press each tofu piece into the cornflour mix and turn until coated.
- Add the sesame oil to a large saucepan, set over a medium-high heat, add the tofu and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning from time to time, until golden.
- Add the tofu to the bowls, spoon over the dressing and peanuts and serve.
