Ingredients

Firm tofu150 g
Weighed after pressing. Silken tofu is about half the calories and protein.
Cornflour1 tbsp (8 g)
Tamari2 tsp (10 g)
Sriracha1 tsp (6 g)
Spring onion10 g
Rice vinegarA splash
Olive oil spray6 sprays
Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.

Method

Press the tofu between kitchen paper under a plate with a tin on top for ten minutes.
Cut into 2 cm cubes and toss with the cornflour until every side is dusted.
Spray a hot non-stick pan and fry the cubes for about eight minutes, turning, until golden and crisp on every side.
Off the heat, toss with the tamari, sriracha and a splash of vinegar, and scatter the sliced spring onion over.

Worth knowing

Pressing is the difference between crisp and rubbery. A wet cube steams in the pan and the cornflour slides off.
Firm tofu is 125 kcal per 100 g and 14 g of protein, which makes 22 g here for 230 kcal. Silken tofu will not survive this method.
