Prepare the tofu rips

  • Rip the tofu into long chunks and place into a mixing bowl
  • Add the cornflour and a good pinch of salt and pepper
  • Toss (or stir) to completely coat the tofu pieces

Cook the tofu

  • Warm 1 cm of vegetable oil in a pan over a medium heat until the end of a wooden spoon bubbles gently
  • Once warm enough, add the coated tofu chunks to the pan and fry, turning constantly with tongs until golden and really crispy (approx 10 mins)
  • Once cooked, transfer the tofu pieces to the plate and leave to drain

Make the sauce

  • Peel and grate the garlic clove
  • Warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a second pan over a medium heat
  • Once warm, add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until aromatic
  • Add the maple syrup, harissa paste, tomato puree and vinegar to the pan, stir to combine and simmer until saucy

Make the dip

  • Roughly chop the coriander and add it to the vegan natural yoghurt along with the juice of a lime.
  • Stir the dip together and add to a small bowl for dunking

Time to serve

  • Finely slice the spring onions
  • Add the tofu to the sauce and toss to coat
  • Transfer the tofu pieces to a serving plate, garnish with spring onions, sesame seeds and some lime wedges on the side
  • Serve immediately
