Equipment needed: Kitchen paper, hob, frying pan, bowl and wok.

Method

  1. Place tofu between kitchen paper to help soak up some of the moisture. Set aside until ready to use.

  2. Cut up tofu into cubes then place a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add half of the groundnut oil to the pan and leave to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, ensuring to turn tofu around to cook evenly. Remove to a bowl and add sesame seeds.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour, soy sauce and white wine vinegar until combined.

  4. Place a wok over a high heat and add the rest of the groundnut oil. Once hot, stir in the garlic, chilli and ginger, followed by the asparagus and beansprouts. Cook for a couple of minutes stirring continuously.

  5. Stir in the cornflour mixture, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Adding a splash of water, if needed.

  6. Serve the veggies alongside the tofu.
