    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Place crispy tofu ingredients in a lidded container and shake well to coat evenly.

    2 Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium. Add tofu and cook, turning tofu pieces until golden and crisp (about 6 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.

    3 In a small jug, whisk all the ingredients for the sauce together, then set aside.

    4 In a wok, heat canola oil over a high heat. Add the cauliflower and capsicum and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then drizzle in 30ml cold water around the edge of the wok to create steam and help cook the florets further. Keep stirring until any liquid evaporates and the cauliflower is lightly charred.

    5 Pour in the sauce and stir carefully to coat the vegies. Bring to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes until the sauce is glossy and the cauliflower is tender. Add the snow peas and cook for a further 30 seconds.

    6 Serve stir-fry with cooked rice, garnished with cashews and spring onion.
