Sample recipe — add more as markdown files in content/recipes/.

Ingredients

• 400g TheBlock firm or protein tofu
• 3 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper
• ½ tsp Chinese five spice
• 3 tbsp neutral oil
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• 1 red chilli, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Method

1. Pat the tofu dry and tear into bite-sized chunks — rough edges get crispier.
2. Toss with the cornflour, salt, pepper and five spice until well coated.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides.
4. Push the tofu to one side, add the garlic, chilli and spring onion and fry for 1 minute.
5. Toss everything together and serve straight away with rice.
