Step 1

Tip the cornflour into a mixing bowl with the five spice and mix well. Cut each block of tofu into 5 lengthways, then again widthways, to give long rectangular pieces. Add the tofu to the cornflour mix and toss with your hands until every piece is fully coated.

Really tasty, quick and easy. I prefer the tofu on smaller chunks

Have only made the tofu part so far, to go with a sauce I already had in the freezer. It was incredible! Will be trying the full recipe soon.

Delicious! Second fried batch went much crispier as they were thinner strips and cornflour stuck to them more whilst they were sitting in the bowl! So would recommend that!

10/10 - I cooked the tofu in the oven to make it healthier and was still delicious!

The crispy Tofu was the star of this dish, so good! I used a bit too much chilli in my sauce....it was a tad hot!

Not the best photo and I used chickpea rice instead of microwave rice to add to some extra protein. Recipe was easy to follow and it tasted great so I’ll definitely be making this one again.
