Tofu Preparation

Ginger Broccoli Purée

Roasted Red Peppers

Method

Tofu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Ginger Broccoli Purée

  1. 4

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Trim the ends of the broccolini and rinse under cold water.

  2. 5

    Cook the Broccolini

    In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add broccolini and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove broccolini and set aside, reserving the broth.

  3. 6

    Make the Purée

    In a blender, combine cooked broccolini, grated ginger, minced garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding reserved broth as needed to reach desired consistency. Season with salt.

Roasted Red Peppers

  1. 7

    Prepare the Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the red bell peppers in half, removing seeds.

  2. 8

    Roast the Peppers

    Place pepper halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until skins are blistered and slightly charred. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. 9

    Peel the Peppers

    Once cool, peel the skins off the roasted peppers and slice into strips.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, spread a generous amount of ginger broccoli purée. Top with crispy tofu and roasted red pepper strips. Garnish with toasted sunflower seeds.
