Sticky Sweet Chilli Tofu

When we used to eat meat I used to cook a dish called sticky chicken and rice and I loved the taste of the sauce.

So I adapted it to make it veggie/vegan by using tofu instead of chicken and changing the sauce slightly.

It is so quick to make and doesn’t use loads of ingredients so really simple too and of course its super tasty too!

I like to use The Tofoo Co. tofu and we really like the smoked one. It is extra firm and doesn’t need to be pressed before use, which is great because I always forget to allow time for that!

This is what you are going to need;

Toasted sesame oil

Tofu

Rice

Tomato ketchup

Sweet Chilli sauce

Soy sauce

Sesame Seeds

I like to sit the tofu in the sauce for 10 mins or so before I cook it.
