Ingredients
- 300 g block firm tofu, cut into 4 thick slices
- 250 g frozen podded soybeans (edamame)
- 2 tbsp rice bran or similar oil
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 2 red chillies, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 100 g Chinese pickled cabbage (or preserved mustard greens), drained and chopped
- 1 large handful coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves reserved
- steamed rice and lime wedges, to serve
Marinade
- 1 tsp grated ginger

- 1 tbsp rice bran oil
Marinating time: 2 hours
Instructions
- For the marinade, place all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the tofu in a shallow container, pour over the marinade and turn to coat. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Drain and reserve the marinade.
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add the frozen soybeans and cook for 1 minute to defrost. Drain.
- Heat a wok over medium heat. Add the oil and fry the spring onions and chilli for 1 minute or until fragrant, then add the garlic and stir for another minute. Add the soybeans, pickled cabbage, chopped coriander stalks and the reserved marinade and toss to combine.
- Heat a non – stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden on both sides. Alternatively, place on a baking paper lined baking tray and cook at 200˚C for 10 minutes.
- Divide the tofu between shallow serving bowls, scatter over the soybean mixture, then scatter with the reserved coriander leaves. Serve with steamed rice and lime wedges.
