My go-to recipe. Easy to make and delicious. Reduce the sriracha quantity if you don’t like it too hot.

Ingredients

Serving 2

For the Tofu
1 pack of tofu (I usually use Naked Tofoo),, cut into cubes
2 tbsp cornflour (or 3 if small cubes)
2 tbsp veg oil
Black pepper

For the sauce
2 tbsp Sriracha
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey (or vegan alternative)
1 tbsp rice vinegar

To serve (optional)
280g rice
Sesame seeds
Sliced spring onion

Method

  1. Mix the cornflour with a pinch of pepper in a bowl, and toss the tofu cubes until evenly coated.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add your tofu cubes and cook for 5 minutes, turning them over until golden on all sides.
  3. Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and add them to your tofu. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the tofu is evenly covered in sticky sauce.
  4. As your tofu is cooking, prepare your rice according to the package instructions. Serve the rice in bowls, and top it with your deliciously sticky Sriracha tofu.
  5. For the perfect finishing touch, scatter with spring onion and sesame seeds. This ultimate fakeaway is ready in just 20 minutes!

It’s possibly the healthiest and tastiest Texas BBQ pizza you will ever taste.

Plant-based pulled jackfruit

Marinated tofu steaks

It’s the best tofu steak recipe ever: perfect grill lines and unmatched flavour.

Healthier Pizza Dough

Apart from laziness and lack of ingredients, nothing should stop you from making your pizza. This recipe is taken from the excellent Bosh! Healthy Vegan book offers a healthier alternative than a classic dough recipe as it uses a 50/50 mix of white and wholemeal flour. The white flour gives you the texture and flavour of a traditional pizza base, but the wholemeal flour makes it higher in fibre with a lower GI index.

Plant-based Courgette Curry

Scoop out the seeds before slicing and frying the courgettes to achieve a firmer texture in this curry. Nothing is wasted – the seeds bulk out the sauce.

Cauliflower steaks with onion & cashew sauce

This is the best way to eat cauliflower, in my opinion. It is excellent served on its own, with couscous or salad.

Plant-based Kohlrabi Schnitzel

I’ve seen and heard about kohlrabi before. It’s probably the only vegetable my dad can come up with a recipe: the kohlrabi remoulade. I wanted something different, plant-based, and schnitzel was the perfect way to do it.
