If you like your tofu with some bite, this dish will win you over. Spicy, sweet and warming from the intense black pepper, this is a crowd pleaser – mop it all up with a big bowl of rice.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 300g Miso Tasty Firm Tofu, drained and cut into 1.5cm thick rectangular pieces
- 100g cornflour
- Vegetable oil
- 120g unsalted butter (if vegan, swap with
coconut butter or olive oil spread) - 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
- Half red pepper, finely sliced into strips
- 6 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 whole bulb of garlic, finely sliced
- 3 tbsp of minced fresh ginger
- 3 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 4 tbsp of dark soy sauce
- 2.5 tbsp of brown sugar
- 5 tbsp of crushed black peppercorn
Great served with steamed rice or egg/rice noodles.

Method
- First take the rectangular pieces of tofu and coat in the cornflour, until all the sides are covered.
- Heat up 3tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan until bubbling hot. Space the tofu out one by one in the oil and turn individually until all sides are crunchy and golden, then drain on a paper towel. Do this in separate batches using more oil if needed.
- In a clean frying pan, heat-up 3 tbsp of vegetable oil for 2 minutes before adding the red onion and spring onions, and stir-fry until softened. Next add the red pepper, garlic and ginger to the pan then the butter.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauces and brown sugar, before adding to the pan. Stir frequently to ensure the butter doesn’t split from the sauce.
- Finally add the black pepper and stir for 1 minute, before adding the tofu. Stir through gently.
- Enjoy!
