Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 600 g / 1.3 lb fried tofu ((we buy it fresh and pre-fried from the local Asian grocery store but any firm tofu will do))
- 4 stalks lemongrass ((blitzed until fine))
- 1 tsp light soy sauce ((or to taste))
- 1/2 tsp salt ((or to taste))
- 1 tsp honey ((or to taste))
- 6 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 chili ((optional))
Instructions
- 1
Cut up the fried tofu into smaller chunks (or leave as is if preferred).
- 2
Marinate the tofu with the lemongrass, honey, salt, soy sauce and chili for a minimum of 5 minutes.
- 3
Oil a wok on medium to high heat, then sear the tofu for 3 minutes on both sides or until golden brown. Mum's Tip: Don't throw away the marinade in the bowl. Instead, scrape the lemongrass over the tofu as you fry.

Serve the Lemongrass Chili Tofu as is over rice!
