Ginger & Garlic Sachet, Soy Sauce, Sweet Chilli Sauce x2, Rice wine vinegar x2, Tyga 15

• 350g-450g Tofu
  Cut the tofu into 1cm thick batons
• 1 Red bell pepper
  De-seed and slice into thin strips
• 1 Red chilli
  Cut into thin strips. De-seed (optional)
• 4 Spring onions
  White ends cut into thin strips, green ends
  cut into thin slices
• 3 tbsp Cornflour
• 1 tbsp Tomato puree
• 300ml vegetable oil

1. Place the sliced tofu into a bowl and mix together 3 tbsp cornflour and Tyga 15, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
   
2. In a wok/deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil (saving 1 tbsp), wait until hot and then carefully add the tofu in small batches with a slotted spoon (the mix should roughly make 4 batches).
   
3. Cook each batch of tofu for 2-3minutes until crisp, remove and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper to help soak up some of the oil.
   
4. In a shallow frying pan on a medium heat, add 1 tbsp of the remaining vegetable oil. Then add the Ginger andGarlic paste, red pepper, half the red chilli and the white ends of the spring onion. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften and then turn down to a low heat.
   
5. In a jug, mix the 2 sachets of rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 sachets of sweet chilli sauce and tomato puree. Mix well and add 2 tbsp of water, once mixed, pour into the shallow frying pan.
   
6. Turn up to a medium heat and let it bubble away for 2-3 minutes, before adding the tofu in. Toss well to evenly coat.
   
7. Serve immediately with either rice (see below) or noodles, scatter the remaining sliced chillies and spring onions over the top.
