Spring vegetable stir-fry with tofu and a ginger-honey sauce

Spiced with chilli, ginger and honey, this tofu recipe is anything but bland. A great idea for a meat-free Monday.

Serves: 3-4

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients

300g firm tofu
30 ml olive oil
salt
5 ml crushed garlic
5 cm piece of finely chopped ginger
3 ml deseeded and finely chopped red chilli
1 punnet of diagonally sliced spring onions
1 to 2 thinly sliced baby cabbages
140 g diagonally sliced sugar snap sugar snap peas
130 g baby corn
15 ml soy sauce
Juice and zest of 1 lime
20 ml honey

Method

Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towel. Cut into 1 cm cubes. Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick pan and gently fry the tofu until golden. Set aside and sprinkle with a little salt. Heat the remaining olive oil in a wok or a non-stick pan. Add the chilli, ginger and the vegetables. Stir-fry for a minute, and add 45 ml water. Add the garlic, spring onion and tofu and then the soy sauce, lime juice, zest, honey. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes and serve immediately.

If you’re not keen on tofu, replace it with free-range chicken breasts, prawns or leave it out all together and increase the vegetable quantity. This dish is also delicious served with brown or wild rice and lentils.
