Ingredients

  • 2 blocks Tofu
  • 2 tbsp Tamari
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce (gluten free) + more to top
  • 1/2 tbsp Fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 tsp Chili flakes
  • 1 Bok choy cut into quarters
  • 2 dl Cauliflower rice
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1 Lime, to to serve cut into wedges
  • Sesame oil, to fry
  • Cilantro, to top roughly chopped
  • 1 Scallion, to top thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Combine tamari, rice vinegar, hoinsin sauce, grated ginger and chili flakes in a bowl.
  • Add the tofu blocks to the marinade and make sure it covered all parts of the tofu blocks.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat with some sesame oil.
  • Preheat another nonstick pan over medium heat with some sesame oil.
  • Start by adding the bok choy to the nonstick pan and let it fry for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to get golden brown and a bit soft.
  • Add the two tofu steaks to the grill pan and let it fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. (Don't throw away the remaining tofu marinade, you will use it later)
  • When the bok choy is done add a little more sesame oil and fry the cauliflower rice in it and add the lime juice at the end. The cauliflower rice should be golden brown and a little softened, but not cooked thorugh. You still want it to hold some crunch.
  • Divide the caulifower rice between two plates.
  • Slice the tofu steak and place on top of the cauliflower rice. Add the remaining marinade on top of the tofu steak.
  • Place bok choy on the side and brush with more hoisin sauce.
  • Top with cilantro, sliced scallion and lime wedges on the side.
