Tofu with spring onions

Your ingredients

Get ready: Knife, kitchen paper, frying pan, spatula and small bowl.

• 🥣450 g firm tofu
• 🥬8 spring onions
• 🥣Up to 60 ml neutral oil, enough to cover the pan base thinly
• 🥣2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 🥣½ tbsp dark soy sauce
• 🍯¼ tsp sugar
• 💧240 ml water
• 🍚2 tsp cornflour
• 🍚3 tsp cold water, for the cornflour

Let’s make it

1. Prepare tofu and onions

   Cut tofu into 2 cm slices and pat dry. Finely chop spring-onion whites and cut the greens into shorter lengths. Mix cornflour with 3 tsp cold water.

2. Brown the tofu

   Heat enough oil to thinly cover the pan base. Fry tofu in one layer over medium heat until golden on both sides, then lift onto a plate.

3. Build the braise

   In the remaining oil, fry onion whites until lightly browned. Add both soy sauces, sugar and 240 ml water. Bring to a boil, then return tofu and add onion greens.

4. Thicken gently

   Braise uncovered for about 2 minutes. Lower the heat, stir the cornflour mixture and add it gradually. Simmer until the sauce clings lightly to the tofu, then serve.
