This dinner was an absolute delight and I can’t wait too share it with you✨

Sesame crusted tofu, crunchy golden and delicious. I served this tofu with some nutty brown rice and some homemade asian infused slaw, and boy did it work wonders.

SO let me explain this tofu to you. Tofu is a great absorber of flavour and holds all the moisture from the marinade. ITs coated in a thick crust of black and white sesame seeds, which bring a lovely crunch when biting though the pieces. Underneath its infused with a sweet and tangy flavour from the marinade, which lingers in your mouth afterwards. An ultimate weekend treat, or show stopper dish for your dinner party.

What does "Press your tofu in kitchen roll for approx 15minutes" mean?

  You take tofu out of container and press it under a weight for 2 hours minimum. All the liquid in the tofu will drain out so you have to make sure you drain the plate often. You can use a small pan with rock in it as a press but it has to be heavy enough to push the liquid out.
