Vegan black pepper tofu

Vegan black pepper tofu is a delicious dish adapted from classic Chinese recipe. It’s quick to make, full of flavour and texture, filling and gluten-free.

400 g firm tofu, pressed
2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
cornflour / cornstarch
3-4 tbsp high smoke oil (I used peanut oil)

BLACK PEPPER SAUCE:
4 tbsp / 60 ml tamari (for gluten-free version) or soy sauce
½ tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp / 30 ml maple syrup or dark brown sugar
2 level tsp cornflour / cornstarch
3 large garlic cloves, pressed
5 tsp grated ginger
1 hot chilli pepper, sliced thinly or chilli flakes, to taste
3 small spring onions, sliced thinly
