1
Prepare the Tofu
Begin by pressing the lemongrass tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut it into cubes.
2
Marinate the Tofu
In a bowl, combine the tofu cubes with chili crisp, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3
Char the Caulilini
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the caulilini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and tender.
4
Cook the Tofu
In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the marinated tofu over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
5
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, arrange the charred caulilini, top with the crispy lemongrass tofu, and garnish with pickled coriander.
6
Serve
Serve warm and enjoy!
