Spicy Pan Fried Thai Style Tofu
Tofu is a great substitute for fish, meat and seafood. It is extremely versatile and adaptable. The neutral-tasting tofu is known for readily absorbing flavours from other ingredients and sauces. This is a hot and spicy tofu dish using fragrant kafir lime leave, lemongrass, lime juice and fish sauce, typical in Thai and South East Asian cuisine. This Thai spin on classic hot and spicy tofu is exquisitely Thai in taste, flavour and texture. This dish is delicious, authentic, fast and easy.
