This delicious crispy tofu with a crunchy, nutty sticky coating is amazing! Combined with a fresh and super nutty roasted peanut salad – a taste explosion.
I think you will love this recipe – for me it’s one of the best ways to eat tofu.
Crispy, a little spicy and then coated in nutty sesame seeds and desiccated coconut.
The crunchy salad/slaw is simple yet absolutely delicious – just shredded cabbage, carrots, spring onions. All tossed in a spicy and creamy dressing then lots of toasted peanuts stirred in.
I recommend topping everything with lots of fresh herbs – mint, coriander are the best.
I love to eat this for lunch as its light and flavour packed, you could make it more substantial by adding some rice or noodles.
I hope you love this as much as me!
Love, Niki xxx
