There's an amazing Chinese takeaway place just down the road from me that does the most divine salt pepper fried tofu but it's pretty expensive so I don't get it that often. It's just as easy to make it at home though and ever better than takeaway because it's best eaten straight after you cook it so that it stays crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

What You Need
  • 300gms pack of macro momen (medium) tofu
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • ¼ cup corn flour
  • 1 teaspoon of Chinese five spice
  • 1 teaspoon of coarsley ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of coarsley ground sea salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Brown rice to serve
What You Do
  1. Combine flours, pepper, salt and five spice in a bowl.
  2. Slice tofu into 1cm thick slices and heat about 1cm of vegetable oil in a fry pan to about 15o degrees.
  3. Coat tofu slices in flour mixture and shallow fry in the oil for 2 minutes on each side. When the tofu is cooked place it on a paper towel lined plate.
  4. Serve with brown rice and a sprinkle of your favourite herbs.
