Description

Experience the culinary sensation of our Sweet Sticky Tofu. This dish artfully balances the delicate sweetness of maple syrup with the zesty tang of lime and a hint of spicy sriracha.

It stars extra-firm Simple Truth Tofu, meticulously prepared to a perfect golden crispness. The tofu cubes are coated in gluten-free Maizena corn flour and seasoned to perfection, offering a delightful crunch in every bite.

To serve, arrange these crispy tofu cubes on fresh, crisp lettuce leaves, creating a delightful contrast to the succulent tofu. Enhance the presentation with a medley of spring onions, optional chopped peanuts for added crunch, fresh coriander, and vibrant sprouts.

Elevating the dish is an exquisite Asian dressing, skilfully crafted with soy sauce, zesty lime juice and zest, rich hoisin sauce, a touch of sriracha for heat, and the aromatic allure of grated ginger and crushed garlic.

 

Sweet Sticky Tofu is a symphony of textures and bold flavours that dance on your palate, making it an irresistible appetiser or main course. And for ultimate convenience, you can have all the ingredients delivered in just 60 minutes with Checkers Sixty60.
