4tablespoonsmirin(or sub 1-2 tablespoons any sweetener)
Ground black pepper, to taste
For the tofu:
400g(14oz) firm tofu
2tablespoonsrapeseed or vegetable oil
1leek, thickly sliced
Instructions
Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce in a large bowl
Drain and rinse the tofu, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into small cubes
Leave the tofu to marinate in the bowl - either for 5 minutes or up to 12 hours covered in the fridge
Heat up the oil in a large frying pan and once hot, add the leek slices
Fry for around 10 minutes until softened and slightly caramelised
Add the tofu pieces and fry for about 10 minutes, turning over halfway through until golden brown and slightly crispy
To serve, put the skewers through the tofu and the leeks*
Notes
*As it can be quite tricky to cook these with skewers unless you're using a BBQ or a grill, I prefer to put the skewers through them just to serve, but you can also fry them on skewers if you'd prefer to do it that way round. If so, make sure skewers have been soaked in water first if using wooden ones.
