A vibrant, calorie-smart dish featuring golden tofu glazed in sweet chilli sauce, served over a crisp salad of mixed greens and shredded cabbage. Topped with crunchy fried noodles and a drizzle of garlic aioli, this meal offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 carrot
• ½ long chilli (optional)
• 1 packet Japanese tofu
• 1 packet sweet chilli sauce
• 1 packet mixed salad leaves
• 1 packet shredded cabbage mix
• 1 packet Japanese-style dressing
• 1 packet garlic aioli
• 1 packet crunchy fried noodles
• Olive oil
• ½ tablespoon soy sauce 

Method

1. Grate the carrot. Thinly slice the long chilli (if using). Cut the Japanese tofu into 2cm chunks.

2. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu, tossing, until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat, add the sweet chilli sauce and a splash of water, tossing the tofu to coat evenly.

3. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, mixed salad leaves, shredded cabbage mix, Japanese-style dressing, and soy sauce. Season with pepper and toss to combine.

4. Divide the Japanese-style salad between bowls. Top with the sweet chilli glazed tofu and a dollop of garlic aioli. Garnish with crunchy fried noodles and sliced chilli (if using). Enjoy!
